Fresh Start

On my way home from class today, I drove under four or five flocks of birds that were all heading south. I don’t think I’ve ever been so envious of a bird before. When winter rolls around in Ohio, my heart is aching to head South. This snowy stuff is for the – err – […]

Come, Sit By Me

I just couldn’t keep this image to myself, but sadly, I know that Facebook wouldn’t approve. A friend of mine recently had her business page banned after she posted a photo of a baby bum. Someone found it offensive or something. If something THIS innocent and sweet is considered wrong… then I don’t wanna be […]
