I sat in an Adirondack chair on my back deck waiting for the charcoal to be ready in the grill while the events of the past few days roamed through my mind.

I had recogni...
An Evening With Lizzy After I took Rachel home Sunday I returned home and took a nap. It had been a long, but glorious weekend.
