Grammy...
So... day two in July and I've got absolutely nothing new to talk about. So I'm going to mention something old instead. Like, 83 years old. I have an 83-year-old roomy ( Read more... ) -

Catching Up

Right Now...
loving the grass, the flowers and the buds.
finding it hard to believe it's been two weeks since my last post.

You know it's Holy Week when...
...you get home from Wednesday choir practice at 11 pm... you feel you'd strangle someone if they say the word 'supplication' once more... you don't want to see another page of Anglican or Gregorian chant until next Holy Week... your weekend schedule goes something like ( Read more... )
