A place to keep “this and that” because it’s not really junk, it does have value.
This is my virtual glove box to keep the odds and ends, the bits and pieces… I like to call it “this & that!”

a new year. a new adventure.
A new adventure has begun! Why don't we give it a broad general name for now… how about “2021?” Let’s look down the road to see what’s ahead….. Hmm, mine is shrouded in fog...nope, it's snow. I can’t see much at all! How about you? I’m feeling a little wary. I like to...
was 2020 the year of focus?
I was just thinking about 2020. December felt different this year, as have most of the months of 2020. It has been a year unlike anything most of us have known. I heard these comments in December, “we can hardly wait until 2020 is behind us”, “finally the last month...
