He asks about her everyday,’ Douglas said” The above quote came from an article about two of the people who were shot during the recent Arizona shooting. This article truly shows that these two people are [...]

Birthdays are for Everyone

Six More Weeks of Winter
He saw his shadow. BOO HOO. I never knew exactly where the tradition comes from. Here it is. “German tradition holds that if a hibernating animal sees its shadow on Feb. 2 — the Christian holiday of Candlemas — winter will last another six weeks.
