Well, sold my first item on eBay this evening. I must admit to being fascinated by the whole process. The initial act of putting the item up for auction had a little spark of excitement, and then it all went … Continue reading →

Had a weird rash over the weekend. At first I thought it was an allergy to something I’d eaten and thought nothing of it. However, it kept reappearing over the course of the weekend. Looking back, I’m guessing it was … Continue reading →

All good gifts around us Are sent from heav’n above, Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord For all his love. Matthias Claudius Another year, another harvest. Despite the regularity, if anything, because of the regularity, God deserves all … Continue reading →
