Autumn Maples and Duolingo
This was taken in Maryland where they have gorgeous autumn leaves. (image courtesy of duolingo) Have you heard of duolingo? It’s a great free app for learning all kinds of languages. I’m currently studying Swedish because I loved visiting Sweden … Continue reading
Halloween Will Be Different This Year
For the first time ever, we won’t be handing out candy to trick-or-treaters. We actually don’t expect to have any kids ring the doorbell this year because of the pandemic. So strange, but that’s 2020 for you. Also, on Halloween … Continue reading

Roses and K-Dramas
A rose to brighten your weekend. Anyone else watching K-Dramas (Korean TV series)? I’ve been surprised by how entertaining they are. The acting is very good and the music really draws you in. Be prepared to laugh, cry and swoon … Continue reading
