Laughter is the Best Medicine
I remember growing up having my share of childhood illnesses. What made me feel better was watching the reruns of the 1950 sitcoms. Remember the I Love Lucy scene where Lucy and Ethyl are working in a candy factory and the conveyor belt with the chocolate moves too fast for them to wrap and so they start stuffing their mouths with chocolates.

The First Hint of Autumn We have been conditioned since we were children that autumn meant back to school, which was exciting for me because I loved school and I also loved purchasing new school supplies. Even to this day, new pencils and a notebook are a real treat for me. However, it also meant homemade cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate everyday after school.
