The best advice I\u2019ve received is \u201cchoose your battles\u201d. It opened my eyes to the gray in the world and has served me well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last great book you read, or what are you currently reading? You have to sing karaoke, what song do you pick? Do you run late or early? What’s your favorite “weird” thing to eat? I’ve included lots of photos of my children – my greatest joy in life is my family. The photo of me with my three boys was from 1998. They are all in their 20’s now and I still enjoy spending time with them. In October, John and I will celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey Ewo Friends!

<\/strong>I love to read, mostly fiction, what I call \u201ccotton candy\u201d books (reading for escape and fun). My favorite genre right now is psychological suspense. I just finished reading Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend, it was hilarious. Favorite authors? John Grisham, John Irving and Pat Conroy. So if you\u2019re calling the office and I\u2019m not answering the phone \u2013 I\u2019m probably on the back deck reading a good book!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>If I had to sing karaoke, y’all better get earplugs quick! God did not gift me with a singing voice by any stretch of the imagination! When I think about this one, I realize favorite songs have changed over the years. Here are some: Brass in Pocket by the Pretenders, Teach Your Children Well by Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Losing by Tenth Avenue North, You Say by Lauren Daigle<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Always early, my mantra: \u201cEarly is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>As a rule, I don\u2019t eat weird food, but coming from New England (I grew up in Maine), I\u2019ve come to realize some of the food I grew up with Southerners have never heard of. One example is Brown Bread. Here is a description I found on the internet: New England or Boston brown bread is a type of dark, slightly sweet steamed bread, usually sweetened with molasses, popular in New England. The moist bread is dark in color and traditionally served with baked beans and franks. I loved it growing up and I can\u2019t buy it here!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ewohaiti.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Family-1024x370.png\")
