    I am enjoying the lull after Christmas, finding it a bit hard to get back into the swing and routine of everyday life.  But bills need to be paid and laundry keeps coming, so today is my “get all the little piddly stuff out of the way” day. But before I “get” to do the…

    It’s Been A Year!

    ByMary Crozier September 14, 2017September 14, 2017
