Amazon gift certificate time! I love debit card points 🙂 Hubby and I got about 20 books, and it only cost us about $40. There are too many to list, but I’m most looking forward to: Self-Help, by Lorrie Moore Twilight, by Stephanie Meyer (just …
I used to write songs about love, and loss, and God, and the tragic but hopeful state of the world. Today, Dylan and I wrote a song, and the lyrics go: “Apple tree, apple tree. Apple juice, apple juice.” I’ll save love and loss and …
