A bit of a mystery this week. Can you guess where Mr. Ken and I vacationed last week? The only hint I will give is that it is in the mountains and I am now tempted to start saying, “Y’all” instead of “You all.” All will be revealed next week, so stay tuned. In the […]

There isn’t much for me to say this week, after all the terrible news about Hurricane Irma. All I want to ask is that you keep the hurricane victims in your thoughts and prayers.
