  • We Need a Little Christmas

    For I’ve grown a little leaner, grown a little colder. Grown a little sadder, grown a little older. And I need a little angel sitting on my shoulder. Need a little Christmas now.

  • A Book Collection

    In the fast paced, digital saturated, screen-overloaded era we live in, we believe that printed books are a refuge of space and time.

  • One of Those Days

    But I am very poorly today & very stupid & I hate everybody and everything. One lives only to make blunders Charles Darwin Looking through my photos to choose something for today’s blog, this bear seemed to best typify my mood. Darwin might sympathize. It’s encouraging to know even he had challenging times. My day…
