My daughter is a junior in high school, so we’ve begun the college search. Although I’ve been on the road for a few weeks, to such places as Sioux Falls, SD, Fargo, ND, Fosston, MN, and even Monroe, Louisiana – I squeezed in a quick trip to Chicago to visit North Park University.
We went there because my daughter loves schools with columns.
Pops had big hands.(Picture is of Pops, and my mother in front, and her youngest brother,
John behind her. ) Wide and strong and they would sweep me up and hold me over his head. His silver gray hair was always Bryl-creamed back. He had eyes that twinkled when his granddaughter walked into the room.

First, there was this….

(B&H Publishing)
About the book:
Faith is the first step to soaring.

Susan May Warren's delightfully funny heroine is at it again … P.J. Sugar finds herself in Double Trouble this time!
With one solved case under her belt, PJ Sugar is ready to dive into her career as a private investigator.
I was asked in the café yesterday if we were having our annual Superbowl party. I was almost unable to speak, the Vikings’ loss still haunting me. No, unfortunately, we didn’t because, well, that would have profoundly affected my football trash talk with my son (who rooted for the Saints, the little traitor). And, I would have had to clean my house.
