I am needing help…
I am needing some help with the title for Mari’s book. Just using her eyes, I would like to come up with something short and to the point. If you have a suggestions, please click "other" and provide it in the blank space. Thank you.

This cabin is really nice … [Read more...]
several entries coming…
I want to first thank all of you who read Mari's site. I have a special journal that I write in at work that are meant to be posts here on Mari's site.

So that they stay in the order written, I will post them all with today's date. I have 7 entries without any dates at all. Those were written some time after October 19th and before December … [Read more...]
