Happy Easter – 2020

Happy Easter weekend – and Resurrection Sunday!! As I only post […]

I hope whatever you read here will be encouraging! Please leave me a comment. I so enjoy meeting those who visit this little space of mine:) By way of introduction….just a little about me:

I love mornings and Mondays (really, I do!) I also love Bible studies, missions – and missionaries – trail mix (of any kind), volunteering, and red-headed babies! I had two:) I love editing…grammar, adverbs, and excessive punctuation just make me smile! Almost as much as organizing! Organizing just about anything is my favorite way to relax.

A few things I could do without: bad grammar (ugh), road construction, politics, protests (clearly I live in the wrong area), SPCA ads, wasted food and…well, tomatoes. I can safely say I hate those!!
