My younger son, Jon, was using his iPad at one of his friend’s home and their nine-month-old daughter crawled over to see what he was doing and to “help” him. She ...
Hanging on to the screen for dear life, the praying mantis slowly made its way up towards the top. Rather than walking through the foliage, this praying mantis was in the sun seemingly asking to come into the house. I wondered what the mantis was thinking, if a mantis indeed thinks about anything, and just then it just hopped away! Thinking about the mantis reminded...

As the sun began to peak out from between the clouds, there was a small rainbow visible between the trees. The further I drove the more brilliant the rainbow became until it st...

Each summer my husband and I take a group of teens to Cedar Point. The experience is enjoyable and educational. One of the things I find fascinating is that depending on your vantage point, you see the park differently. When you are on a fast ride you see the area as a blur, both right-side up and upside down.
