Saturday Good Reads


How do you say goodbye to a dying grandmother? Can you find redemption in a corn field? What do you do when you’re awakened in the middle of the night by a bat in your room? What images come to mind when you think of going to a county fair? Or maybe you just like to hang out with dragonflies. It was all online last week, and a whole lot more, too.

  1. Thanks Glynn -- wish it really was a painfree Saturday -- new drugs, new ideas on how to deal with the pain 'cause the root canal didn't take it away!

    Hugs. Thanks for the mention.
