The Center offers therapeutic riding opportunities to adults and children with physical, intellectual, and emotional disabilities. The owner, Deb Campbell, was nothing but delightful. She and her staff were patient in offering instructions on how to groom the horses. Riding will be offered again beginning...

A Night to Shine

Do you remember your junior and senior proms?  You had to find that special guy or girl to go with.  You had to go shopping and find just the right dress, shoes, purse, and jewelry or tux to match that dress.  Ladies, there was the anticipation of getting your hair and nails done and getting dressed for the night.  And...

Exercise Instead of Medicine?

I am not an athlete.  Many would not consider me a serious exerciser.  However, in the past few years I have experienced significant benefits from working out.

Bluegrass Music Might Just Be the Cure For Your Winter Blues

Music has always been a passion for me.  As a young child, in West Virginia, I had the opportunity to go to a number of bluegrass festivals.  I always enjoyed the upbeat tempos and the unique sound that came from the intertwining of all the different instruments being played.  That sound comes from mainly stringed instruments including, acoustic guitar, fiddle,...

It’s a Doggie World

I recently discovered the Wisconsin based company, Gracie’s Doggie Delights. Having an adorable, rambunctious pup of my own, I was intrigued to sniff out what the buzz was about. As the name suggests, this company is all about making delicious treats for our furry buddies but what sets them apart is their commitment to be all USA product, all the...
