Ever heard the story of the Amish farmer and the female airline pilot who fell in love? No? Well, the story of R-T and I wouldn’t be so very different, actually.
If you’ve ever wanted the “behind the scenes” story on how a director of a homeless shelter and a tech-geek met and fell in [...]

And yes, of course, I used that title to increase my blog traffic for today. But I’m in Florida as this “goes to press” so just try to find me and make me change it. Ha!
Anyway… I’ve been discovering some great new blogs. And I was so proud of myself. Until, of course, I saw [...]

Well of COURSE it is! At least MINE is. I mean, how else would you follow the exploits of my Coon Dog Clan or my missing doggie?
Anyway, if you feel that your blog would make a good newsletter, there is a new tool for making that happen. Introducing…Five Filters.
