I am extending my blogging hiatus for a few more days at least, after which, I plan to dive back in and write until my hands fall from my arms and scamper away. Cheers-Thanksalot.

Working not only as a teacher but for 15 years as a customer service rep at Wal-Mart on the weekends, she supported us through my mother's college education and later, supported me through my own. Without her help, love, and support, I would not be where I am today. She ...
