This meme isn’t really very funny as it has gotten to triple digits here in my corner of Texas. High humidity, too, which makes the heat as heavy as an old quilt with feather ticking. While I sit with ice on my hip, I browse the Internet and recently read an interesting story about termites […]
First a clever meme! This post was prepared on Monday and then I was offline for most of the rest of the week. My daughter-in-law was coming for a visit and to help me with some things, so I tried to get most of my office work done before she arrived. Looking forward to a

For all of my Christian friends and readers, I want to wish you all a Merry and Blessed Day today. For those celebrating other winter solstice holidays, I wish you peace and blessings, too. I don’t think one holiday takes away from any other, as the magic of the season transcends any religious bounds. I
