Despite my visits to the nursing homes with my grandma, I really didn’t know anything about them. I had to learn what an Ombudsman was. Despite having a little one, I had to learn how to properly tend to...

Premium Member Norman, Don't Be Bates
Halloween is very near, Stealing is what brought me here, Where I'm going I can't say, I just had to get away. Driving in the pouring rain, Those that do, must be insane, Looking for a hideaway, To spend my holiday. I've been good, but not that great, Candy makes me put on weight, Pumpkin pie and room for dates, But Norman, don’t be Bates. Shower time...

Premium Member Norman Rockwell Scene
I had to stop the car to take another look. It could have been a page from Norman Rockwell’s book. A farmhouse painted white, a porch with rocking chairs, chickens in the barnyard scratching for their fare. Tousled red-haired boy freckled face and all chasing yellow puppy running with his ball. Tiny girl in pinafore blond curly hair in bows sitting on the porch steps, dolls...

The Norman Knights of Southern Italy
After the Dark Ages Southern Italy was an unprotected land without kings: the Norman nights saw the opportunity and conquered it fighting Byzantine settlers. They roamed the fertile Campanian countryside and built their sturdy castles on hills to guard their territory; their love for adventures hand an impact on Western history, They defended the faith and remained Christians 'till they...
