Plans Are Hatching
If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If broken from an inside force, life begins. Great things always begin on the inside." Jim Kwik I was surprised to see a robin flitting in and out of the small tree outside my office window. I couldn't resist knowing if there were eggs hidden in the twig woven nest. One day when the mother Robin flew off, I snapped a picture. To my surprise, there were two beautiful blue eggs inside. I watched and waited until one day, I saw the momma bird ... View the Post

To be honest-it was exhilarating and terrifying at the same time.

John had a job waiting for him the day after we arrived and we stayed with friends while waiting for ... View the Post
