Christmas is officially 9 days away, but who’s counting? Each year the holiday season brings with it visions of cozy fires, parties and other festive events. It all sounds wonderful as you add one thing after another to your calendar. Eventually there is a tipping point, though, and the whole thing turns into a never-ending…
The Stevie Wonder concert this week was amazing! Definitely a night to remember. During the concert he played an incredible flat guitar. It’s a little blurry, but here’s a picture of it. His hands moved so fast that it was mesmerizing! It would have been impressive for anyone and then you remember ~ Stevie Wonder…
