Another year older, another year wiser, another year gone

Posted on January 2, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

Judged

Posted on October 29, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

I’ve thought about this all day.   I shouldn’t have let it bother me, but it keeps coming back to me. Thousands of people marching across a border is not a caravan, it’s an invasion.   I don’t invite strangers into my … Continue reading →

Posted on September 26, 2018 by suziecreamcheese
