Yeah, you’re right. We may have to find a more flattering picture of the namesake. Maybe my recent sun burned one, for it will resemble the color of the chicken.
The blog is looking fantastic! Keep up the good work!
Fond of the cast although I haven’t met the star. I too prefer a morning commitment.
Beth: I am soooooo loving your blog. As someone who remembers your writing from Elementary School at least – I am getting the same vibe here – just different characters….
I love that I have readers who can evaluate how my writing has changed (or not changed, as the case may be). That makes me laugh!
Really well done ! You never cease to amaze me with your talents ! Love You !
I love reading your blog. I guess it’s because I know all the
characters involved except Ed.
LOVE the write ups!
… But where’s little Vince?
Vince went to live with my dad because he had to put Rufus to sleep. Vince is fat and happy!
