To Go On

We have all experienced the moment when someone looks seriously at you and says, ”Have you heard the news?” Regardless of what the news may be, you know—it’s not good. I had that moment a couple days ago. The sad, sobering news? The last two remaining members of the management team here at Parkview Apartments […]

As we enter Easter weekend, consider […]

Cat Walk

This is Bella, Kat’s cat. She has been part of the Dodge household for three years.

WORD’sworth

Let me tell you about the origin of WORD’sworth. It is the title of my website, Linda’s WORD’sworth at https//:lindahighman.com. It began 40 years ago while I was teaching English to grades seven through 12 at North Clackamas Christian School. We had begun doing a yearly senior play which evolved into two annual plays; and […]
