Wow! I thought 2014 went by in a blink, and it did. 2015 has come in with a vengeance, the flu! Spending an entire week in bed…I’m just shaking my head at this…and grateful that I don’t have pneumonia, I do have a wonderful husband who’s cared for me, and an incredible doctor. I believe […]
This year has flown by faster than any other I can remember. Do you know we had four months with Saturdays in them? This is very unusual. The months were, March, May, August and November.

It’s been a long Winter, however, I do believe Spring is finally here! I’ve heard several people complain about the Winter we’ve had… I love all of the seasons… so I am grateful for each one. It’s wonderful watching the birds sing, the flowers bloom, and the big blue sky with occasional clouds passing by. […]
