The last week of October slipped quietly into November, bringing with it shorter days, colder mornings, and a house full of stories.

This Holiday was a bit of a surprise. My brother and his family decided to come and celebrate with us. At first, I wasn’t thrilled.

I’m somewhere in the middle. … More Walking the Middle Path: Thoughts on Vaccination
