Miles and Miles for a Smile . . . and Other Stories
I should probably start every post with “I have been really busy lately” – or maybe I should just stop saying it and assume that everyone knows that I have been really busy lately. Regardless, there comes a point where enough pictures and stories have...
It Was Irritating . . . But It Could Have Been So Much Worse. And I Was Thankful.
As I type this, I am sitting in my hotel room near Bradley International Airport in Hartford, CT. In a few minutes, I will take the short drive from here to the Eastern States Exposition (the Big E) in West Springfield, MA to start setting up for this weekend’s...
Still My Puppy After Six Years . . .
Happy Birthday, Zoe . . .
Prayers Needed for Two Generations of Krivitskis . . .

Milestones & More . . .
I have been off the blogging grid for nearly a month. It has been a busy month – and I have collected bits and pieces along the way that I wanted to share. So here they are in one sitting, in no particular order . . . Tuesday, I learned that our friend...
