Well, it is Friday, and like most holiday weeks it came up fast. Always seems strange to have a new year. I keep putting 2108 on things that require a date. I should be squared away sometime in July. In moving around WP lately, I’m wondering if all of you who have ad-supported blogs realize […]

“Lucy. What do you suppose is going on here? “Humm. Looks like someone made some chairs.” “I’m not sure, but this sand smells like that drink Dad has on Saturday.” “Could be beer alright. This tree has ornaments on it. I think someone had one heck of a New Year’s Eve.” “Lucy. What is mom […]
