In spite of all of this though, there are definitely some good things happening in the world as well; and I would like to take a moment and tell you about my latest finds. You see, I … Read More Bright Rays of Light
A Place Of Our Own
Lately, I’ve had my dream place on the mind again. In fact, everyone in the family has been talking about their “dream” place.
