I love finding treasures. I never know what I'll find when I go to the thrift store. I bought some books, and when I got home and was putting them on my bookshelf, a piece of paper fell out of one of them. It is a story of finding the best treasure ever. The Story … Continue reading Treasures
Okay boys and girls, clear off your desks and get ready for a pop quiz. (Like you are ever ready for a pop quiz!) I'm pretty sure those were the two scariest words we ever heard in school.

I was stopped yesterday by three people in my town with a population of approx. 7500 souls. These three people were running around like chickens with their heads cut off.
