There’s a little birds nest that hangs under the eaves of my roof. When I first saw it I thought that I would have to find a way to move it, due to the enormous pile of bird poo that…
Grammar police
Bear and I were watching TV the other night, and a laundry detergent commercial came on. It was very retro and showed all the generations of women who have been doing laundry, with the dress and the basement décor changing…
