Little Robin Redbreast
Early this morning I glanced out our dining room window and a little movement caught my eye. I was delighted to see a robin sitting on a post of our fence in the back yard!

The restaurant was fabulous and the food was delicious. In addition to the lovely lunch, my coworkers presented me with a beautiful bouquet…
A Little Bit of Everything
Before our third sleep in our new bed, I went out and bought a new pillow. I don’t know if that’s what did the trick or if it was because I started getting used to the bed but I had a great sleep that night and I’m now fully comfortable on the new mattress. I’m so thankful for that. I…
