Weekly Photo Challenge: Simple

It’s been forever since I posted, and I have so much to write about. Tomorrow I will FINALLY have a day off so hopefully I can write about what’s been going on lately. Life has been going a million miles a minute. For now though, here is my weekly photo challenge entry. “Simple” is the…

My Oldest Friend Part 2: Lyssa

Now that I have written about my oldest (age-wise) late friend Bob Jordan, I figure it’s time to write about my friend I have known the longest! I am one of those people who has a couple very close friends, as opposed to people like my fiance who has hundreds (its seems) of  good-ish type…
