    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier December 20, 2024December 20, 2024

    It is the Saturday before Christmas and only one more Saturday after this in 2024. My heart is full as my two out-of-town children are home for the week and all three rascals will be here for Christmas. As I watch tragedies unfold around the world, I certainly appreciate the gifts God has given me….

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier August 4, 2023August 4, 2023

    Is it really the first Saturday in August? I cannot believe some children are already back in school. Are you wanting summer to stretch out or are you ready for fall? I am hanging onto summer, especially as we are enjoying it in the cool mountains of Arizona. It has been a very busy week…
