Mint Tasting

Some people have wine tasting, cheese tasting…on Pop Pop’s return from Australia, we had mint tasting around our table. Silas and Rubí are mint connoisseurs at this point. My grandchildren will be your best friend for a bag of mints. 🙂   So we took the children outside.

Where is the Line to See Jesus?

In a time when I see recurring instances of governments and society trying to completely erase the reason the world even has Christmas, this song, sung by George really touched me. Play to hear the song. Where’s The Line To See Jesus? Christmas time was approaching, the snow is starting...
