Spring has sprung…
Yesterday was the first day of Spring and boy, oh boy! does that make me do a happy dance. I took my camera outside this morning and captured a few glimpses of Spring especially for my readers who are still mired in last vestiges of winter. I hope these pictures bring a smile to your…
A visit from Flat Stanley
A week or so ago I offered to *host* Flat Stanley for the son of a Facebook friend. I’ve done this before and I think it’s fun and a neat project for kids. This particular teacher is only requesting postcards from each host location and not the usual photographs to go along with them. She…
