I was thrilled to see the topic for this week's Challenge, as I own some items that are completely unique. The first one is a piece of art, which I inherited from my parents. I remember telling them when I was a teenager that, when they died, I insisted on getting this, and I did …
This is the time of year when emptiness can predominate. All the leaves have fallen off the deciduous trees, leaving their branches empty. But still beautiful. In the autumn, most beaches are empty of people, since the vacationers are gone. We were fortunate to visit Cape May, on the Jersey Shore, in October, when the …

On our cruise to Hawaii in 2018, we were treated to an after-dark experience when the cruise ship hovered about a mile offshore the Big Island of Hawaii, and we get all the sensations of a volcano …
Today is American Independence Day. On July 4, 1776, America with its Declaration Of Independence, marked its separation from England, and the initiation of the Greatest Country on God's Green Earth. In addition to becoming a country of its own, America became the first in all of human history. What First, you ask? America became …
