#MM Saturday Mix — The idea was difficult to swallow.

image link Twenty-five years ago, there was a neighbor kid who had gotten into the habit of pulling up the plants in our garden for fun.

Coloring Club Plus — 11/9/19

Today’s Celtic letter “Q” is dedicated to Queen. If you’ve noticed a lot of Celtic letters lately it is because I want to get them done before the end of November, as I plan on Christmas colorings all December and the coloring, for the most part, will be ending at the end of the year….
