It’s been a nine-month long labor of love, and it’s time for delivery! In the next two weeks, I’ll be collecting the last of the blankets for Share A Square — those are the ones that will be delivered in July. Tonight, the car is packed for a trip to Camp Quality in Louisiana to [...]

Y’all, I’ve been hiding from the computer for months now, as I worked on that Share A Square project. I have to avoid the computer, because when I plop down in this chair, I get mesmerized by the screen. I don’t get a darned thing done all day… and I have a lot of things [...]

Do you remember playing Hide and Seek as a child? You might have called out, “Olly, Olly, in free!” It meant it was time for everyone to come to home base … to re-group. It’s time for me to call that for Share A Square. We are almost to the goal! More than 400 volunteers [...]

Have y’all ever watched an eighteen month old child get interested in an object? It might be something as uninteresting as a light switch, but they notice it and find it fascinating.
