I almost forgot that I got tagged last week by Dawn for this little book tag. Easy one to do and good for me since I’m not feeling very creative at the moment! Here are the rules/requirements: 1. Grab the book closest to you. 2. Open to page 123, go down to the fourth sentence. […]

I’ve felt rather glum today on this first day of the new year. We learned yesterday of two different young men in our area that both passed away in the last few days. This morning we went to the visitation of one, 27 years old and a classmate of one of my girls. I’m not […]

Hope that everyone has a happy and healthy new year! We got together with a few friends and had a fun time visiting. We started a puzzle as well, but will have to see how that comes over the next few days. Maybe this upcoming week I can get back into some kind of normal […]
