The other day when we were visiting our kids in Arizona I turned on Good Morning America (GMA)....now I very seldom watch daytime TV....but when I was a stay-at-home mom a gazillion years ago this was one show I did watch (remember Joan Lunden and David Hartman?).  So I figured being on vacation ...

I think most of us can appreciate this!  You may be too young to remember this 'dynamic duo' but you can certainly laugh at (with) them still today.        You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and too old to REALLY understand computers, to truly appreciate this though.  For ...

According to Wikipedia, a doughnut, or donut, is a sweet, deep-fried piece ...

A couple weeks ago my husband and I had the pleasure of going on a couple's retreat, with 35 other couples from our church, to Zion National Park.  It's hard to believe that this beautiful area is just a 2 hour drive from Las Vegas...we stayed in a 'lodge' outside the park and then took the free...

On June 6, 2007 the United States Senate voted to make English the official language of the United States, with a vote of 64-33.  The bill also states that no person has a right to have the government act in another tongue unless specifically stated by law.  In an unprecedient follow-up on this b...

If you have had to purchase prescriptions lately you know how expensive they can be!  Prescriptions, like everything else, have gone up in price.  Until recently we were able to order our prescriptions via mail order at reduced prices.  But that for us has stopped...I recently learn about WAL*MAR...
