The Old Same Thing
You know, the “Old Same Thing”! Do you have a limit for doing the same old thing, don’t you get tired of it? How long can you keep repeating the same old routine before it becomes just that? I’ve done it before, and still do at times. I could eat PB&J’s for lunch on a daily…
Read MoreSunshine Daydream: Day 4
If you would like to get “technical” today was the first “full” day at the “Plein Air Camp”. I slept great despite the dorm room that has what has to be a sleep number 110 or something. I am a definite 40. I must have been tired. Maybe it’s like this on all campuses now-a-days,…
