I… like quite a few other folks who read the prompt this morning on RevGalBlogPals.blogspot.com have decided to get back into the game. here are the questions, and here are my responses… 1) Have your blogging (writing/reading) habits shifted since the days of yore?

parsonage inspection
I am not a housekeeper. I never have been. I didn’t learn how to growing up. I don’t have time to now. I can do the basics like vacuuming and dusting and countertops and windows. But to make it a daily/weekly habit is something far beyond my grasp. It’s not just that I do not…
