∞ My Wednesday’s Guest today is this jolly little snowman who is all dressed up to celebrate this wonderful time of the year.

∞ MERRY CHRISTMAS HAPPY HOLY DAYS Since I am Christian and most of my family and friends are, too, I thought I would lead with that holiday wish, and include the other for the people who celebrate Hanukkah, or any of the other winter solstice holidays. May we all be holy these days and into the […]

∞ Before I tell you about the free story, I want to share some pictures of flowers that I have taken over the past few weeks. Some are easily recognized. Who doesn’t know a pansy when they see one? Really? There are people who have never seen one? Oh, right, I guess I didn’t think about […]

∞ I know the politically correct thing to say at this time is Happy Holidays, lest we offend someone who doesn’t celebrate Christmas, but I feel like being a rebel today. Besides that, I don’t get the least bit offended when someone says Happy Hanukkah or Happy Kwanzaa. Those wishes mean something special to the folks […]
