The last games of the season are happening before the World Series playoffs start for women’s college softball teams. Every game is watched with dreams of looking good enough to go to Oklahoma City. Our attention this weekend was focused on our Georgia Dawgs (ranked 23 nation wide)...

When we got the newsletter telling about the Continuing Education conference yesterday at John A. Logan College, I signed Gerald and me up to attend. With all the cancellations and problems of Katherine’s aides, however, I had become convinced we’d have to miss it. And we did...

As I drove into the Shawnee National Forest on Tuesday, the pinkish purple blooms on the redbud trees brightened the still bare tall black-limbed trees all around them.
