SANTA CLAUS SATURDAY
He’s making a list and checking it twice…… Today while I was shopping at our local mall, I stopped for a few minutes to watch the children getting their pictures taken with Santa.

FAMILY FRIDAY
It was a warm rainy morning as I sat reading a few pages in Catching Fireflies. Although the book is a great read, I found myself reading the same page over more than once.
