This has been a busy month, no surprise. As I watch the days slide by, I wonder if I have tried to take on too many projects this Christmas season. There is always the danger of getting so busy that celebration gets lost, so lost in the celebration that the meaning is lost. While I… Read More Bustle or Blessing
Despite the time that has elapsed since last time I posted stories, there are not a whole lot listed here. Sorry. More stories were written, just not turned in, whether due to being written on paper or not being finished or some other factor.
