By
Aggravations occur as soon as you start making plans. Ihad plans for this summer. A trip to Europe to visit my family was one of them. I have brothers and sisters and scores of nieces, nephews and cousins in Switzerland and I haven’t seen most of them in years. Now that I’m retired I figured

A Mother’s Poem

By
When you reach the right age I will teach you how to pop pea pods and pick cherry tomatoes, how to make pumpkin pie from scratch, milk a cow by hand. And you’ll teach me of butterfly wings, pebble shapes and designs, animal clouds in the sky. And I can’t wait. As you grow, I’ll

It’s called “Formula” because the cars must comply with a formula which specifies
