CPR/AED Certification
Recently, we attended our CPR/AED certification class. We have to say that this was the best class we have taken. The teacher, Jackie, was professional.

I don't often speak of commercial products, but when I purchased a spiral vegetable slicer, I just couldn't resist.
I was a skeptic. I didn't want to get caught in the trend. I resisted temptation of buying for a long long time.......and I finally caved in.

TIME FLIES
It is hard to imagine that is already the middle of May. It seems like a short time ago, the snowbirds were arriving in South Florida. Now, they have flown back home. Time flies, and for that reason, I encourage you to make a commitment to do the things you have been putting off for another time.
As I sat at the memorial service fo [ + ]
