Enough

Lately, I’ve heard the word “enough” quite a few times, mostly in the form of questions. The question is usually phrased in one of a few different ways: But is that going to be enough? That’s not enough, is it? Sometimes, it’s even phrased as a statement: I don’t see how that’s going to be [...]

Changing Seasons

I love Autumn in Michigan, because the sights, smells, colors, and flavors are a refreshing treat after the heat of summer starts to wear on me. My dear husband prefers the hot weather.
