Y’all, we are in some weird times. I do not know if weird or scary is the right word but for the sake of my sanity, we are going with weird. Here in Michigan, we are ending our sixth week of quarantine/essential employee/home schoolteacher. It is strange and weird. I have really been working on... Continue Reading →
Life is scary right now. I didn’t want my first blog post, after my hiatus, to be about something sad. Because lately, that’s all I have is sad news. Sometimes, that is what life is, isn’t it? Sad.
