I've had a hard time deciding on a throwback topic. I have lots of things that I want to tell about. My dilemma has been that I am a visual learner and have a visual preference for telling my stories. I haven't found all my childhood pictures and need some others from my parents. It [...]

Smiling at the thief
Smiling at the thief. Squirrel at the bird feeder. Roanoke. Virginia. The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief. -Shakespeare I love to watch the squirrels because I think they are so beautiful.
