Posted on March 13, 2025 By Sister Rain

On Main Street in a town with a population of over 5,000, an hour west of where I live, there is a funeral home across the street from the hospital. I have to wonder who made this decision but an even bigger question is does their close proximity go into…

Sitting under the hair dryer at the salon, giving my highlights their five-minute boost before the foils were removed and my hair was washed, I couldn’t hear the music that was playing in the large room nor the stylists and other customers talking. This must be what it is like…

As I explain in “My Son Is A Beaky Eater”, Piper showing any interest in human food is rare. We never have cereal in the house but a recent three-week long bout of bronchitis for both myself and my husband had us looking for something we could have without much…
