I notice that most stores are now Selling bags. You pay $1.00 for a bag you can re-use. This little publicity stunt has nothing to do with the environment and everything to do with the bottom line.

Papa and I are leaving to day for a little trip to Georgia, and the Lewis Family Festival. We have attended this show several times. We didn’t go last year, since Mom was so sick. I remember she asked me when we were leaving, and she seemed sad to think she might have caused us to …

We had a wonderful time at Pickin’ on Cystic Fibrosis Saturday. More on that later this week. We detoured to Kalamazoo and brought GD2 back with us for a visit. She is completely different from her sister, and takes a little getting used to. Her parents taught her to be quite polite, so if she doesn’t want …

I can’t name names today, since I’m not focused and I don’t have my program, it’s in Papa’s car. I just want all of the wonderful people who came out Saturday to support Jimmy’s endeavour, Pickin’ on Cystic Fibrosis, to know how much it meant to Papa and I. You can see the main sponsors …
