F for Fifi, a dog from the rescue that I’ve been fostering. I’ve written about her a lot before. Frank Baum who created the world of Oz. I believe it’s on my 101 in 1001 list to find and re-read as many of the books as I can. I loved these books when I was [...]

All you have to do is write a blog post every day. I’d thought to do this several months ago to give me motivation [...]
