Other Than The Sunburn, I Have Survived ‘Warped Tour’.

Well, actually I guess that’s only partly true.  Warped Tour is not over until 9 pm and I DID leave at 4.  Too tired, too hot and too much activity for one day!  The sunburn, however is full blown!  No partial to that.
Warped Tour, for those who don’t know, is a tour of 50 or [...]

The Power Of Prayer That Must Be Shared

I am looking for work also. Hubby is looking at becoming self-employed - which can mean good money, but there [...]

Soggy Day
