OK folks...is anybody, as in anybody, out there disappointed to see the squirrely year 2020 coming to an end?
I’m guessing that if you are one of those folks, you just might see the glass as more than half full...and overflowing...
Meanwhile...
...so many things to ponder...and so little space...
Can you believe it? When it comes to the year 2020, we’re down to this week...and next week. I’m guessing that it’s pretty safe to say that not many people will be disappointed to say farewell to this year...
In keeping with a tradition which began several years ago, this week we’re sharing some of...
PART 1
At the time this was started, my laptop informed me that it was 3:19 PM...then 3:20 PM...time flies, I suppose...
Whatever the time happened to be, I happened to be sitting outside...on the stoop of the porch which wraps around the front of our house...
...oops...excuse me just a moment......
