Gracie here. Bad morning. The computer was hit by a scam pop-up that froze the screen. It hasn’t happened for a while so the peep forgot how to clear it. She left my post in limbo while she went shopping! … Continue reading

It’s a holiday weekend so it’s short today. Yikes, it’s September! – Just like that summer is gone. It will go down as not a favorite. Excessive heat with a house project that moved us up to the overly hot … Continue reading
