You also missed the Thanksgiving decorations. Thankfully you have kept the centerpiece from last year…and the year before that.

Weekend Wrap-up: Wet, Wet, Wet.

Thursday Thoughts: Fires, Floods, and Droughts. Oh My.
The International Climate Committee (or whatever they are called) came out with a dire report that said climate change is definitely caused by human activity.
