Cleaning is way down on my list of “Things I Like to Do in My Spare Time,” so I’m always looking for cleaning shortcuts. One of my favorites is for cleaning the microwave – an odious chore at best: put a bowl of water in the microwave for a couple minutes…until the window gets nice [...]

The story is about Dr. David and Norah Henry, a young couple expecting their first baby. The story opens in 1964 on a snowy night in Kentucky [...]
