I woke up this morning with a sense of awe washing over me. If you do any research into the actual events, attitudes, conflicts, personalities, and deep details of the Revolution (or any war) there is so much more than…

Another HOT day! I wasn’t outside very much. This evening I spent about 40 minutes pulling weeds and hosing off the back patio stones. They look much better. I find that if I just do a little at a time…
