  6. If only we would use our energy and creative talents to produce beautiful things instead of the other wasteful things ….. what a wonderful world this would be.

    I remember stuffing colorful paper into chicken wire (or something) to create a float for a Home Coming Parade in a little town high school parade. Happy teens working together.

  15. Hi Beth,

    Have you changed something on your setup? For the last few days, when I try to “like” your post from my tablet (which I’ve been using for years), it’s coming back as unsecure and refusing to show your site / post. Everything seems ok from my PC. My tablet is android based – not Apple or Windows. So, you may have missed a few “likes” from others, too. I just thought I’d pass that along…

    :)

    • thanks, Kevin, nothing on my end has changed but it could be a wp issue that I’m not aware of. I did notice that it has been hard for me to share my posts on Facebook recently and no idea why
