December 7, 1941

Author Unknown

I was six years old in 1941. My parents had divorced and my mother was trying to provide housing for my two teenaged sisters and me in San Diego. There was nothing to rent as the city was bulging with military.

That Sunday we (the four of us) were busy converting my Grandpa's old chicken house into a house for us. My job was straightening the used nails for reuse via hammer and a big flat stone.

End of Summer Thoughts

War Editorial – End of Summer Thoughts

by Dr. Zo Simmons

Life is just a yummy plate of garden vegetables. Yes, it sounds corny, but I’ve always found comfort in the simple truth of this metaphor. Tasty, homegrown vegetables from my garden remind me of the beauty, joy, and serenity, which more than compensates for all the hard work, muscle strain, pest and diseases encountered along the way.

Immigrant Grandparents

By Dr. Zoe L. Simmons

April 9, 2003 embarked a monumental change for the citizens of Iraq, one that will forever be remembered by mankind. They are liberated and free.

This made me think back to the stories that were told by my grandparents, who fled Cuba on a small man made boat. Two people who fled a communist country with hundreds of others to come to America. America the land of the FREE!
