I still remember the first line from 7th grade, when we had a list of prepositions in front of us, and we had to say them out loud, and memorize them. In, on, into, to, at, by, for.

I believe that timing is everything. Four months ago I slipped on some chicken poop while bringing the chickens water and tore the meniscus in my left knee. I did not need surgery (thank you God!) but had to wear braces and walk with a cane. I also did physical therapy. The therapist told me … Continue reading Timing is everything
I have a client who is a realtor. She told me when she shows a house she has either chocolate chip cookies, or a loaf of bread baking in the oven.
