I Think, I Dream, I Think, I Dream

My 2nd husband and I are divorced. The usual suspects were the cause: money, cheating, etc. I could go on and on about ‘how he done me wrong,’ but instead, I will talk about something he gave me – something good. As his wife, I was able to stay at home for the first time Read more...

I’ve Got a Monkey On My Back

I’m having way too much from with Gimp. Gimp is the graphic software that works like Photoshop. And it’s free! I can’t stay off the computer. I scour the internet for Gimp tutorials.
