Welcome, Joy.

She unfolded the little slip of white paper and read the question aloud.

Did You See That?

Here I am again trying another Five Minute Friday. This is where I link up at this site with other bloggers and we all write about the same topic for 5 minutes (or so…this one was closer to 10 minutes for me) and then we link up with each other for fun. We are allContinue reading “Did You See That?”
