Anyone who knows me knows that I love to read. I have a penchant for sappy romance novels. They are usually full of ridiculous, over-the-top tropes and always end with a HEA (Happily Ever After). Something about the fall makes me want to change up my usual reading with something different. Now, usually, this leads

We have an old refrigerator in our garage — one that migrated there when we remodeled our kitchen some time ago and it was no longer deemed efficient, never mind fashionable.

There’s little doubt that deer hunting in Pennsylvania is a big deal; maybe not as big as it once was, but still, it’s our most sought-after game species.

Many young people are preparing to enter the full-time workforce. While this transition into adulthood has many challenges, one that may not be so obvious is building your new work wardrobe.
