My sentiments exactly.
So how about today’s “good morning” wakeup call! Eleya was up early because she was teaching this morning, and she woke me from the most peaceful sleep I’d had in weeks. Much to our chagrin and the delight of the carpet cleaning company arriving this afternoon, our dog had a …
Regardless of your position on the war, our troops are enduring grueling conditions to perform the tasks they are assigned. Have you considered giving them some much needed relief supplies of their own through Operation USO Cares? It’s easier taking a “bath in dirt” every day if you know that …
