The Pursuit of a Higher Degree
With bated breath she waited for the light on the wall to turn green. Her fingers hovered over the keys of the keyboard knowing if she dared to press a key before the timer started, she would be immediately disqualified. Her fingers ached and twitched, ready for action.

Sweltering Summer Season
Summertime in North Carolina always left one feeling as if they were physically wearing the air. The humidity was like a wet blanket, a thick wall of wet heat. The children would run out to play in the morning, and then later in the evening. However, during the hottest part of the day, they would whine to be allowed to play inside in the air conditioning.

Fading Flowers
She went up to the counter to sign in for the day. Each visitor must sign in and out, as that was one of the safety measures the home had in place. She adjusted her purse and placed the wreath she had brought on the counter so she could reach for the pen and leave her John Hancock.

Special Delivery At the Office
The brown paper box arrived in the mail around lunchtime at the office. It was not a large box overall; about the size of a shoebox. The fact that it was ticking was concerning though.

Pandemic Birthday Party
One last piece; that was all that was left of the decadent, chocolate cake that had been bought for the small, family, birthday party. The beach house they had rented for the occasion was quiet for the night. Everyone had settled in to relax after a day of celebrating.

Daddy's Barn
Gathering her courage, Susan reached into the hidden area beside the old barn where the key was kept. It was too tight a squeeze to do more than be able to reach her hand in, so she silently prayed there would be no creepy creatures ready and waiting to pounce. As she grasped the key within her hand, she moved quickly away from the dark to inspect and make sure she did not have any new friends attached, catching a free ride.

A Fishing Tale
Allen and his wife, Kayla, loaded up their vehicle. They were long overdue for a fishing trip at the local pier. It was late in the season to catch spot, so they both had on their extra layer for warmth, as the water off the ocean could be bitter cold.

How To Make The Perfect Grilled Cheese
First off, the above picture was the best I could find in free images. I have no clue what all is going on with that sandwich, but it sure is eye catching. My secret is a lot less stressful or messy. It really is not that much of a secret recipe at all.

Cats, Dogs, and Snakes! Oh My!
I have started to do this article a few times, but then stopped. I was not sure if I wanted to write an article on a funny story about my pets and their craziness or if I just wanted to do an introduction type story. I worry about doing a funny story, because some of the things that happen are direct results of not having our biggest dog trained just yet, and he happens to be one of those breeds that has the potential to be dangerous. He also is one of those breeds that has the potential to be a hero!

Kenyan Food Is the Best
My first mission trip was my first time on a plane; several planes to be exact. When I do something, I full hearted commit. I wrote a poem about the experience, because we were there for the people, not for the food.

Goodnight Moon- A beloved favorite
Goodnight Moon; A well-loved book in the Horne Household. Many a night this was the book of choice to be read at bedtime. The familiar words and melodic, poetic nature made it easy to set cadence to

My Idea of Netflix and Chill
Ok. So honest confession here. My definition of Netflix and Chill, is NOT what the kids have attributed it as being. I have ADCD, Attention Deficit Crafting Disorder. I have not coined that term myself. Thought I did, but I looked it up just now. Seems several of my fellow creative geniuses have this same disorder.
