It’s been a long time since I posted anything. A lot of struggles and changes have occurred so that I am unsure where to head with this. So, I will start with when I was in church on New Years Eve.

We visited our grandkids in Texas in February and found out that they are really into dinosaurs. Just about every picture they drew and a good number of books they read had at least one dinosaur. I learned to pronounce so many different names including Oviraptors, Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, Protoceratops and Parasaurolopus. I read and was told how […]Read Post ›

In 1912, Paris found itself with a growing overpopulation of abandoned babies. One of the “foundling” hospitals of that city devised a way to find not only homes for those children, but also a way to raise money. They held a “Loterie de Bébés” or baby raffle.
