Recently while watching Downton Abbey with my husband (yes, I have brainwashed convinced him to watch it with me) he made a comment that made me laugh so hard I had to hit pause. You’ll only get this if you watch the show but you know that scene where Mrs.…

Hero
Not all superhero’s wear a cape. The one I know is about five foot six, hails from St, Louis and has an affinity for fixing things. My super hero is my step dad and this afternoon our family and many friends will gather to celebrate his eightieth birthday. I think…
