Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat. He had had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe while he slowly… CONTINUE READING…

The a cappella group Home Free presents their patriotic rendition of ‘God Bless The USA’ in collaboration with Lee Greenwood and The United States Air Force Band.

Of course, that wasn’t always the case. When I was young I didn’t place much emphasis on organization around the house – I guess I’ve got my mother to thank for the fact that it always looked like it was ready to be pictured for an estate agent’s portfolio. She taught me many… CONTINUE READING…
