It has been said if you want to know yourself, write. Join me on my journey of discovery, we just might discover something together

    Ran across a small article online. I hadn’t heard about this on the evening news. Not sure why that is, unless they were trying to keep it a little quiet. Although I can think of no reason why not. Whatever… Continue reading

    A group has formed on Facebook that I am proud to be a member of. This group consists of residents and former residents of a certain geographic location. In reality it could be anywhere but it just so happens it is the eastern… Continue reading
