April – in like a Lion?

Once again, I lack regular posting. Let me tell you, this has been and eventful winter. We’ve had so many viruses visiting us, we’ve reserved them space in the guest room. I wish they’d go away. The most recent attacks have been a coughing fit that lasted about… Read More »April – in like a Lion?

Making Resolutions

I don’t make New Year’s Resolutions. Once in a while I will, but for the most part I don’t need to. I’ve made a habit of evaluating what I’m doing and how I’m doing it on a pretty regular basis, so I don’t need to go for the… Read More »Making Resolutions
