“Not every puzzle is intended to be solved. Some are in place to test your limits. Others are, in fact, not puzzles at all…” ― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration Okay, so nearly all of you solved the last mystery here with aplomb. At least I get to use a fancy sounding word. Some words just seem to …
“Sometimes the closer you are to the truth, the harder it is to see.” ― Jacqueline Simon Gunn, Circle of Trust Lots of guesses on my first mystery photo that I posted on Sunday. Love that you didn’t all get it right. Was a bit worried when the second person and then the fifth knew what it was. I’m groaning …

Adria was interviewed by Novelpastimes.com and Louis was interviewed by …

So here’s the initial entry of 1st Sunday Hiker Devotionals. Let me know what …
What would entice you to part with two dollar bills? Doesn’t seem like much money theses days. Back when I was a kid – that has been a few years ago – you could buy a candy bar for a nickel and six candy bars for a quarter at our country store. Note, I remember what candy bars cost because …
Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.” (Psalm 96:12 NIV) I love the springtime. I love all the seasons.
