Still, secretly I hoped that maybe, just maybe, I&#8217;d be one of the few lucky ones to pass through this era unscathed, admired and adored, like I always was.

As they drove down the gravel road that led to Scatterwood Lake, Logan&#8217;s mom noticed something on the road. &#8220;Look!&#8221; she said. &#8220;There are some geese down there!&#8221; &#8220;Where?&#8221; asked Logan, sitting as [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve lamented its existence many times and wished for a new table and chairs, but it was just never in the budget. I was finishing up some work this evening when Andie called up, &#8220;Dad&#8217;s here!&#8221; My jaw [...]]]></description>

Here are a few things I&#8217;ve learned so far: 1. I can tell [...]]]></description>

The kids were obviously upstairs, but the camaraderie I heard coming from the boys&#8217; room as I went up the stairs was unusual. I arrived at the boys&#8217; door to find a notice, which had previously served as a warning for the mess inside, updated [...]]]></description>
