My Side Porch Looking In

A Great Fall Weekend!

This weekend marked the 14th anniversary of my mother's passing. It was very much on my mind through the entire weekend. However, there were so many other things going on that there was more happiness than sadness. My brother came into town from Ohio and got to meet his niece for the first time. We … Continue reading A Great Fall Weekend! →

Autumn in Michigan
