Twenty years of marriage and I still feel like a newlywed. Oh, I don’t mean the mushy-gushy newlywed who’s so in love with her new husband that she doesn’t notice the coldest winter we’ve had in years. I mean the newlywed who’s trying to figure out what could possibly be going on in her husband’s…

Making Over
When my parents became full-time RVers the few things left of their home went into my shed.
