Love Means Never Having to Hear “I’m Sorry”

Many years ago if you had asked me what my favorite movie of all time was, I would have said Love Story with Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal. It was a touching story of two people who fall in love, but their life together is tragically...

Pan-Fried Oatmeal for Recipe Friday

I am not a huge fan of breakfast. Except for Toad in the Holes, I don’t care much for eggs. I don’t like maple syrup, so pancakes aren’t my favorite either. Plus I’m usually just not that hungry in the morning. But I do love...
