The #OldGal keeps on tying me! She got a 4 too. I am sure someone from team #YoungPup will come through with a 3!


I need to write some stuff. But, I am so not feeling it. I suppose that ther are times when you need to persevere regardless of your feelings. Right?


Good morning! May you #lovewell today. #MorningMug #MorningBlessing

The #OldGal popped a 4 and decimated me. I am happy the streak lives. Hopefully a #YoungPup or two can score a 3 today.


As the old man drove, he smiled. He glanced over at the boy who had long ago become a man. They pulled off the main road and he pulled the Jeep to their spot. He glanced into back seat and saw the case.

The old man smiled again.

They were in the old man’s Jeep and pulled up to the squawk box, β€œTwo large fries and two chocolate shakes. And yes, that completes my #order.” (He grinned as he said the last bit.)

β€œSorry sir, the ice cream machine is broken.”

β€œAgain?”

β€œSo just two fries?”

β€œAnd Cokes.”

I am still so excited about the way things are now organized with The Pastor Next Door. Setting up a homepage with subdomains to longer pieces each with their own newsletters really has made things simpler and clearer.
