First I want to share the glorious sunrise that greeted me this morning. Even though I sometimes hate to drag myself out of bed early in the morning, the reward is worth it. Last Friday I posted just a bit about the message that Pope Francis gave to all of us via his speech to […]

Drama camp at the Winnsboro Center for the Arts wound down with two performances of our show. We had SRO for both performances and everyone had a grand time. George Gagliardi, the singer/songwriter who helped the kids with the music, got into the pirate spirit. If you regularly read my blog, you know that I
Coloring books for adults is the latest craze to spread like spilled milk, and Sunday there was an article in Parade Magazine quoting experts who said how good it is to color. It relieves stress, relaxes us and can even make us smile. Gosh. I’ve known that for years. Sketching and coloring was a favorite
