September 2025

My elder son and his wife of 50 years celebrated this summer. They took their whole family on a trip to mark the occasion. Julie had worked a long time to get every piece of the travel puzzle to work.

When looking for new reading options, patrons often seek out authors who have a similar style to those whose books they already are drawn.

We have all heard it before. Before the end of the visit, the doctor will usually ask, “Do you have any questions?” That is usually the precise moment that my mind goes completely blank. Every question I can think of seems silly or embarrassing. I know the doctor is busy so I don’t want to “bother” him/her by taking up too much of their time. I really do not want to look stupid or ignorant. So, I say nothing, smile and the doctor leaves the room shortly afterwards. As soon as that door closes, the flood gates open and all the questions I should have asked bubble to the surface. Now it feels too late to ask them. Sound familiar?
