Thanksgiving is two days from today and I’m heading up to Indianapolis tonight to meet up with friends. I’m so glad that holidays are worked into our lives. Not only do we get days off of work or school to rest, eat and be with friends and family, but we have something to […]

I really like the pictures on this webpage. Apparently, someone writes in with an idea and then he draws it. Look They are well done, apt representations of their titles, and they have bright colors.
