Happy Birthday, Pilgrim’s Progress!

Pilgrim’s Progress was written by John Bunyan on this day in 1678. Animotion Studios has released a very well-made audio drama of the book. Whether you have read the book or not, the audio drama adds life to this beautiful story.

A Great Smoothie

This is based on the recipe for a smoothie called “The Green Gorilla.” 1/2 package frozen spinach 1 very ripe banana 1 cup frozen blueberries 1 tbsp flax seed 1 peach […]

It appears that I have made over 2000 searches on Google since last May. That doesn’t include all of the searches I have made when I wasn’t logged in to Google. […]

Life has calmed […]
