Last weekend my little guy was very sick. Friday morning he woke up with a fever and it lasted until about Saturday afternoon, off and on. He still didn’t act like himself until sometime Monday afternoon. The weekend before that my daughter was terribly sick, although without the fever and throwing up the boy had …
It takes a lot of courage to show dreams to someone else.” ~ Erma Bombeck Lately, I’ve been thinking about dreams. Not nighttime dreams of cooking pasta for Ray Romano while you’re on a raft in the ocean trying to find your car keys. Dreams that come from your heart and whisper in your ear …

Well, despite Steven and Juliette being in bed sick (her on the tail end of the bad cold; him at the beginning), things are doing pretty well here.
