I read a blog the other day, written by a young man who asserted the claim that the institution of marriage is dead. I thought to myself as I read the title of his blog, “Well, let’s see what this doomsday clown has to say,” and I began to read.
(Not so) Common Sense:
The last of the family holidays is packed away, for now
By Carole Townsend
Well, Easter 2015 is in the history books, and it was a fine one. I hope yours was, too, if you celebrate Easter. If not, I trust that your Passover or just your weekend was glorious. The weather was gorgeous, the trees are “greening up” (as my dad used to say), and the dogwoods and azaleas are in full bloom. At our house, we had an extra blessing to add to all that. Our ten-month-old granddaughter spent the entire weekend with us.
From 1818, when it was chartered, until the 1960s, Gwinnett County was just one of Georgia’s many slow-growing rural areas. But as the county’s attractiveness became more widely known, its complexion began to change.

My husband and I took a few days and headed for the beach for a few days last week. The past few months have been crazy, with a lot of great things going on, but crazy is still crazy! We really needed, and enjoyed, the break.
In truth, we’re raising adults. Not children.
By Carole Townsend
Our little nine month old granddaughter spent the night with us this past weekend, an honor bestowed on my husband and me before anyone else. I truly felt honored, because I wasn’t sure our daughter was going to be able to let go.
I do love Georgia in winter
By Carole Townsend
Ah, Georgia in winter. Is there anyplace more exciting than right here in the peach state during the season kicked off by the winter solstice? I don’t think so.
The Oscars are coming!
By Carole Townsend
The 87th annual Oscar Awards ceremony airs this coming Sunday, February 22. I know this, because my sister makes sure I know when it’s scheduled every year.
