We didn’t get all the rain over the weekend that the weatherman had predicted, but every little bit helps. We are supposed to have more rain off and on throughout this coming week, and the temperature has dropped a bit, making it a good time to stay inside and crunch words. And that’s what I’ve […]
Yesterday was a wet, gray day here in our part of Alabama, but nobody is complaining because we definitely needed it.
