A Look at the Old Year and Its Blessings

On the date that my vaccinations were deemed effective, I had a cleaning crew clean my entire house! I never expected […]

Giving Thanks Two Years Into a Pandemic
The past couple of years have been challenging on many levels. There were ups and downs, to be sure.
