Blood-Curdling Screams

Because I thought ya'll might get a kick out of this picture from my highschool days…

At my high school boarding school I was lucky enough to get one of the old hospital beds.  I thought they were pretty cool.  They had a hand crank to raise and lower the bed.

Self Portraits Take Talent

Sometimes I see the pictures that I have posted of myself and feel kind of guilty.  They are pictures taken on days that I have actually brushed my hair and uh well, not really an accurate portrayal of what I really look like.   I’m really just a jeans, t-shirt, tennis shoes and pony tail gal . . . → Read More: Self Portraits Take Talent

When he blares his music, I try to stand . . . → Read More: Marriage and Music

Fruit of the Spirit

Here is yet another tale about Grace and her one liners that lighten the mood.
