(Pulling out another old ramble from the www.Joy-Cafe.Com during this busy time) My oldest friend scratch that. Let me reword it the friend Ive known the longest in my life sounds much better, right? Actually, she’s my ONLY longest-known friend. That’s what happens when you move every 2-3 years (Army brat). Anyway, shes… Read More Tradition!
( I’m still Christmassing, so I am borrowing a post from my website www.joy-cafe.com – from last year.) Let me tell you the tale of… the Abominable Christmas Tree. Now you wouldn’t think a Christmas tree could be abominable, right? You just don’t associate that word with Christmas trees.

A few years back,… Read More Back in the saddle (um, on the treadmill) again
