Fridays around here are for sharing joyful moments from the week. Typically I share a handful of pictures and give a little update on our week. This week will be a little different because I took ZERO pictures! I've been feeling the stress from the election - and I'm sure you've been feeling it, too.... Continue Reading →
I wasn't going to share a poem this morning, but this, randomly, was the next poem in my book: All that patriotism requires, and all that it can be,is eagerness to maintain intact and incorruptthe founding principles of the nation, and to preseveundiminished the land and the people.
