I agree.

Thank you! : )

No, we just stayed for 4 nights a couple different times while the demolition phases happened and we didn't have use of the kitchen. The cold here is unbelievable! I grew up in a place with four distinct

That's a lot of snow at once! Feeding the squirrels has been a great motivator for me to get into the woods on the blustery days. Thank you! It's been such a disruption but once we're through the pain

The kitchen has been the hardest part, by far. Plumbing can create and infinite number of issues. Thankfully, our son is a plumber so he's helped with the faucets. We've found in this area that most

Thank you! The beauty of it is the only positive thing about it. The snow really is amazing to see, especially at night. My nephew actually trained Navy Seal teams for a while. He's a beast when it comes

¡Gracias! ¡Espero que esto desencadene una reacción en cadena!

Thank you and Merry Christmas! 🎄

It was getting much worse in the company I worked for the last five years I was there. I've heard it's gotten worse yet since the pandemic. We simply had managers at our company who were afraid of

Thanks and Merry Christmas to you, my friend!

One should never lose empathy and solidarity. I agree, Nancy. We can't let hate win but at the same time we can't let our kindness be exploited. It's like a tightrope walk. It always amazes me how much

It must be meant to be! I can't keep cash very long in my wallet either. Usually if I have any a situation arises like you describe.
