No grudging
“Practice hospitality to one another without grudging.” (I Peter 4:9) I just had an amazing weekend!

No Tricks….just TREATS!
It was a TREAT tonight to meet the newest member of our neighborhood . . . “Coby” is 5 months old, 55 lbs, and a rescued Burnese Mountain Dog. Which, if you remember from this post is one of my favorite dogs. When I take care of the horses next summer, we get to take care … Read More

I avoid … Read More

“Old School”
Ryan at “This Is REVERB” asked readers to post something “old school” on our blogs. He claims it is like “salve for the soul”. I recently posted some (embarrassing) old school stuff here from my high school years, and even some of drummer boy’s old school (literally) stuff here. It’s hard to read, but the date on … Read More
