A Walking We Will Go
September 24, 2010
Exercise for the sake of exercise has never been my gig. I know getting a good work out is as "easy" as stepping out the door for a walk but my efforts at making this a regular part of my routine have been half-hearted at best. I am thankful for ...

Spring reading at the Library
March 26, 2010
