How Is Your Reflection?
My nephew is really into police and his Great Aunt welded him a little safe filled with jewels for him to play cops and robbers. Over the 4th of July a firework went off, and in a mad run for the house the safe came open, spilling out the jewels. I ran to look for...
I Will Not Get Offended
Do you know when it’s a great time to write a post about not getting offended? The week you’re helping to plan your class reunion! As I go to write this post and am receiving messages like, “What exactly are we paying for?” it allows me the opportunity to hone my...
