The passage twisted and turned, a claustrophobic labyrinthContinue reading “A jungle confrontation and unraveling of the past….Chapters 12 & 13 of “The Retrieval””

Tim Hawkins

Comedian Tim Hawkins. The show had two highlights. One was his medley of 70’s songs. The other was a comedy bit on going tubing in Minnesota. Since my husband was born and raised in Minnesota, the bit was priceless.

Be a good citizen and a good human

The tangibles: we donate to our local food bank, donate pet supplies and toys to the local animal shelter. Here in Washington, you can turn in aluminum cans for cash.
