Sundays are precious. Each week I look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones at my new church. This morning though, my body was tired. A restless night resulted in maybe three hours of sleep. This gal does not run well, if at all, on anything less than a full eight. So when... Continue Reading →
Even When Plans Change…

Hello February and hello to warmer weather this week. I'm ignoring Saturdays call for a chance of snow showers. I just want the snow and ice in my yard to melt.
