I went into the bank last week to speak with my personal banker, Nancy, whom I have had the pleasure of working with for the past 10 years. Since Nancy was on the phone, I sat down in the waiting area where they had magazines sitting on the table in front of me. I grabbed an old issue of People and flipped it opened to a random page in the middle. It was quite a surprise when I opened directly to a page focused on Heart Tarts! And, it was page...

As I was walking around the lake with Sadie, I saw the white rock in the cement sidewalk. Sadie sat patiently as I took my phone out to capture the hearts. And, since my hands shake, I always view the photo I have taken to see if it is blurry.

After...

While on the subject of dryer lint, if lint this size is coming out of my vent outside, it’s a clear indication to clean the vent.

Flash back about 3 weeks ago, it was the first week of May and we just received about 6 inches of snow. As expected this snow melted very quickly. When I went out to get the mail, I noticed there was only a little snow left and it was hiding in the shadow of my neighbors tree.  When I realized it was shaped as a heart I went to get my phone to get a picture. “Last of the snow and it’s shaped as a heart; it hides, just waiting for me...
