Hi Everyone!

Yes, I know I've been slow getting articles out this summer. It's been a tough year, and the struggle continues. We are hoping to buy my parents' house, which means selling our own home. We had a lot to do to get ready. In fact, I overdid. Fortunately, I did not have a hernia, as my primary care physician thought; but I was still in a lot of pain. But finally, we managed to get the house ready and the 'For Sale' sign is up. Now we just pray.

Also, if any of you are interested, my second novel is out. It's titled "Into the Flames". But more on that another day. For now, read on.

Here's my latest article from the Relationships site at BellaOnline.com. I hope you enjoy it.

Grammy’s Lesson in Political Science
I hate admitting this, but the other day I was keeping two of my granddaughters, Rachel and Angela, occupied while their parents washed windows for us. I was only too grateful for the time with the kids, and the help we were getting from our children.
