    Sixty Seconds with Judi If I were to close my eyes and think of fall the first thing that would come to mind would be color.

  • It Ain’t Over Yet!

    Sixty Seconds with Judi The other day a friend was complaining to me that it’s August and summer is over.

    The other night I watched the Dicken’s classic A Christmas Carol and it had me reflecting about my journey. Don’t be alarmed I’m not going to give you my life story.

  • The Christmas Bake-Off

    Sixty Seconds with Judi Sometimes I think that if I eat yet another Christmas Cookie, my body will explode! It all started with a few Christmas presents for my family over-seas.

  • My Story on a Tree

    Sixty Seconds with Judi This week my family picked out the perfect tree. It was a little earlier than usual for us; I wanted my son who was home from college to be a part of the celebration since he won’t be home until Christmas eve.  Our tree is beautiful. Perfectly placed in the corner
