A penny for your thoughts…huge milestone moment
A penny for my thoughts… I started blogging around December and really in earnest, beginning the first of the year. It’s one of the few resolutions I’ve made and actually stuck with (don’t ask me how the diet is going!). My blog was never something I considered as a financial proposition. It’s been more about…

Before there was #Monday, we all knew how to #Dream
My favorite place on earth #Granny&PopFarm 6/15/93 Dream Step along my path and follow me at play See the world a little differently today Dance the dance of dragons Woe the fiery foes they be Sing the song of angels Merrily the imp sings delightfully Skip into the wood that turns into a forest Slip…
