Act of Treason

Why do you blog? Submitted by littleduckling. Right now I'm blogging to distract me from the mountain of study I need to do. In other news, I got a free book in the mail today. It's not my usual genre, but I'll probably give it a go. Either ...

Church at Clover Point Mexican Train Dominoes Wraparound Porch Fireplace in the Front Room Library Corner

This past September was more a month of lasts than a month of firsts. But I suppose it could be argued that I looked at things with a new perspective as I said goodbye. At the beginning of the month, I went to the annual CSC retreat at Lake of t...
