  • Co-birthdays……

As I contemplated the strange actions of insects and CATS on my Read more

  • Where’s Waldo….

    I’ve been left on my own this week. He and his brother took off for California yesterday morning to visit the B.I.L’s son and take a motorcycle out to him. I’ve been getting snapshots of each state via message. I was torn with my decision to stay home..but in the end, I really had no Read more

  • You pick your friends, your corn, your nose or my sad little habit of picking nail polish off of my nails. Not really just nail polish – gel nail polish. To make a short story a little longer..thanks to one of our Vapur customers, I was introduced to what I have found to be Lee’s Read more
