Those Old Things… Before Computers
Last night I got to do something for the first time. When I began in school computers had already taken over what the typewriters had accomplished in spades. So my class had lessons in typing on the computers I have never had a typewriter or didn’t think we still had one around. Until a month…

A Special Book
How do you protect treasures from World War 2, but still allow the family to share the artifacts? There are several sources to this collection; it’s really quite remarkable. This is the 3rd or 4th book I have tried to put it together in. Yet the collection keeps growing. So I guess I’ll see how…

Mowing Chronicles: Obstacles
How frustrating are obstacles? When you are mowing? My first inkling or thought of mowing always seems to be synonymous with farming.
