Wishing you peace, comfort and joy this Christmas. My wish for you: May your homes and hearts be warmed and your hopes be high by the promises given to us by Christ.

My solution to Monday rollin' around too quickly is to simply ignore it. So far it's workin' great! The Holiday show I did way "up Nawth" was a lot of fun and I also had a great visit with my family. Unfortunately the day of set up it poured, and I mean poured from early ear…

... and let me say I am thankful for every one of them! Even if they do seem to get here much too fast. The next two weeks will be very busy ones, getting ready to do a Holiday show "up Nawth". It's a show I used to do many years ago when we lived in S.C. My daughter lives there …

Please join me in honoring and remembering all the men and women who have served our country. Please think about the ones who lost their lives and the families who are without a loved one. Remember, without the service and dedication of our armed forces our lives could be very different. From the …

I'm puttin' a few things together to put on the webshop...pretty pink things to counteract the gray of the day. Then I'll sit in a cozy chair, sip some tea and read a goood mystery novel. What do you like to do on a rainy day? My wish for you: may your rainy days be cozy and filled with…
