Another Random Act of Kindness

Posted on December 22, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

Random Acts of Kindness

Posted on December 6, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

Today, I went shopping. I needed to get frames to frame the pictures that we’re getting for some un-named in-laws. This was the fourth store that I had been at–who knew that frames were such a difficult thing to find? Now, … Continue reading →
