My dear readers, It happened again. You know, the idea that I come up with that seems so impossible to bring to fruition and yet…. ….and yet, the Captain (after a bit of mumbling and grumbling under his breath) finally listens to me and somehow makes it happen. You know I am known for getting…
Sleighs, Trucks And Automobiles….and yes, my dear readers…the countdown is near! December is flying by…. Have you noticed how popular the little red trucks are in many Christmas decorations? I absolutely adore the little red truck with the Christmas wreath on the radiator (does anyone know what a radiator is any more?)…
Fruity Displays? Apple Cones? Cherry Pie Filling? You might be asking …what is she talking about?
