back to the drawing board

Have you ever been so stressed out that you don't know how stressed out you were until some of the stress is gone? That happened to me today. To say this has been an incredibly tough year is an understatement. DH started surgeries in January...

Play Misty for me

2009-10-11T23:35:51Z

I have just finished listening to THE MISTS OF AVALON. What a wonderful retelling of the legend of the once and future king. Is it true? Did any of them ever exist? Would some archeologist find the great sword? I hope so.
