Have you made do with the not so new? Do you have a suggestion you would like to share with my readers? If I get enough suggestions, I will post a "Reader Suggestion Friday" each week. Send me your suggestion, pictures if you have any and your first name, and your blog address if you have one you would like to share and I will sort and post them on Fridays.


If you would like to link to something on my blog on your page, you may do so, but please be kind and ethical and do as I do, link to the original post and write that you got it from me. Thank you.
