Can I tell you that I have started and stopped posts about this little statue three or four times? I have had him since October. October!!! A lifetime in blog years! I don't know what's wrong with me. I guess I don't want to offend anyone by saying something weird or irreverent about a religious...
A Sock Monkey Comes To Visit
I've always had the utmost respect for nurses. They are some of the most dedicated and hard working people I know, so I was super excited when my friend Sandy offered to do a guest post for me on my blog. Hi, my name is Nurse Sandy. Pam asked me to write a blog post...
