christmas And The Tree Is Up! And the tree is finally up!  It is ridiculously hard to get it all done.  My husband, bless his heart, spent about 2 hours last night untangling my silver garland (and he is NOT a big fan of all this decorating!)  Guess he must love me LOTS!  I always look forward to hauling out all […]

He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six-pack of root beer and he started his journey. When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting […]
christmas The Gift of the Magi One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one’s cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. […]
