Daybook – October 19, 2009

For Today…October 19, 2009.  As I look at today’s date and slowly let it sink in, I am amazed most of 2009 has passed, in the past, never to be visited again.  It’s mind-boggling.

I am thinking…how wonderful [...]

Daybook – April 6, 2009

For Today…April 6, 2009
Outside My Window…the sun is shining and a cold north wind is chilling the air.  We are in danger of a hard frost tonight and tomorrow night.
