The Superior Express -

Just another stress-filled week here at the Bruce residence. We held the first pool employee meeting for the season on Sunday. It’s always “fun” attempting to coordinate schedules at the end of the school year. Unemployed and activities,...

We all know by now that I’m not fond of winter, but this blanket of white mother nature draped over everything sure is pretty. It’s a less depressing landscape to gaze upon, at the very least. I feel for those who have to work out in the...

I sometimes wonder what other people do to celebrate Labor Day. In this family, we labor a little more. Typically the holiday weekend is used for preparing the yard for the fall and winter seasons. This year George and I decided to clean out the...
