Yesterday was Christmas – Maddie loves Christmas. Maddie loves two things about Christmas, 1) Faith comes to visit, and 2) There’s wrapping paper.

I plan to be quiet here, and to reduce my time on WordPress today and tomorrow. I’ll be back with a one-liner on Wednesday, and I’ll rejoin you at your places then. Note: I’m giving you the gift of time, perhaps only a few seconds, but I’m closing comments for this post.

The only thing better than the snow on Christmas was the fact that Faith came to visit Maddie (Maddie is sure that was the reason). Before Faith arrived, I was out with the crazy redheaded pup, and she simply didn’t want to come in. It brought to mind a line from Caddyshack: “I don’t think... Continue Reading →

I spent the early part of this week in Washington, D.C. Of course, I traveled on AMTRAK, and I wanted to get some pictures for my friend David Pennington in Ipswich, England. David is a big fan of trains and model trains, and since he frequently posts pictures of cranes for me, I thought I’d... Continue Reading →
