What a quiet weekend! My son, Matthew, is away for the weekend and my daughter, Liana, has been hiding in the living room, engrossed in a 1000-piece puzzle that she can’t seem to tear herself away from. The house feels so empty and it is extr (read full article)
I can’t believe it is Wednesday already, this week is flying by. I’ve held off posting because my site was to have been transferred to a new hosting company on Monday, then it was changed to Tuesday and now it looks like the magic day i (read full article)
