Today’s Reflection:
I’m enjoying a nice summer day here. All good.
I got a set of new green sheer curtains for my downstairs bedroom.
The old beige ones were getting tattered. The new ones look great. It took over
a week for them to get here, but worth the wait.
Sorry to hear that Dolly Parton has passed at 80. She was certainly
a force in this world. I enjoyed her movies and her music. She did an amazing
job of philanthropy…donating over 300 million books of books to children of poverty
and her many other organizations. She
will be missed.
