Today the hubby and I got up and headed over to my parents’ house for lunch and to see the rest of the fam. But not before we shoveled the driveway. There were six inches of beautiful white fluffy stuff on the drive. And it made the drive quite long. We had a good day.…
FF: Pancakes
Fridays are my days off, but I got up at a reasonable time to draft a letter of support from our ministerial alliance for a grant the city is trying to recieve. Somehow I became president of our ministerial alliance, even though I’m the youngest one and I’ve only been here for a year. Or…

The word Epiphany means “an appearance or manifestation” and on this holy day, people around the world celebrate that God came down to earth, took on our human form, and lived among us. In particular, we celebrate those to…
