Hurricane Harvey
My website was down for a week but I’m okay with that, because my hosting company had more important things to deal with, like the safety of their families. They are based in Houston.

Tremendous Talent, Tremendous Loss
I mentioned before how this season’s America’s Got Talent auditions are bringing me to tears and especially so this week.

Well, it was a wonderful Christmas. We went to the candlelight service at church on Christmas Eve, then went home and decorated the tree. One of my daughters was in California with her boyfriend’s family, but everyone else plus a good friend was able to celebrate at our house. We had good food, good company
