Debbie, you're welcome, preaching to the choir first -grin-.

Maggie, it's always easier to let anger come out…unfortunately.
Gretchen, a lot of them were worth saving.
Charlotte, Sunday is probably my favorite day of the week.
Kathy, you're right.

Great post! I have been working really hard not to let my Ms Pearl come out in me and I have almost set a record and proud of it. haha
These were great to read and so many good ones I can't pick a favorite.
Really happy to see you at my site this morning. Yes Festival Hill is an amazing place to visit and I love helping them out now and then. The concerts they have are something I never thought living where I do that I could experience such gifted artist playing in a incredible gorgeous place.
The grounds are just as pretty as the concert hall.
Sorry I get cared away talking about it.
Have a great week.
Love
Maggie

One of our middle school teachers put a sign on his door that reads: Don't raise your voice, improve your argument (Desmond Tutu). I like that! 🙂 Have a great new week. Tammy
