The traditions of Christmas fade into the tapestry of “used-too-be” taking my joy for decorating with it. No one will celebrate here this year, so what’s the point of decorating?
July 4,1776, a crowd of rebellious patriots rally around a document written by Thomas Jefferson and sent to a king thousands of miles across the sea. This king taxed the “colonists” but in return they received nothing from him. Today, I’ll celebrate our independence with a collection of links to posts with the title “Why …
Mr. Hughson and I have reached another marital landmark. We recently celebrated thirty years of marriage. “We’ve been together since way back when.” We actually met in 1982 and became friends in 1983.
