All the Grandmas like to see things like this: This is one of Larry and Lisa Efaw’s grandsons. I understand the little guys received little guitars and fiddles at Christmas. This one loves to be on stage. Emcee Charlie Patton made sure this one was out front were we could all get a good look. … Read more
D1 was shopping for her nieces, Gds 1 and 2 recently. She gave me several indignant paragraphs regarding the padded bras available in the girls section of a major department store. This is not a discount store, and it also isn’t an upscale specialty shop. I think it’s silly to offer bras in sizes to … Read more
There’s a term I haven’t heard in a while, but it is what entered my head this morning. Winter time is a good time to feather one’s nest and hunker down in it.
