10 Things I Love About Downtown Greenville
Greenville, South Carolina, is one of the nicest towns I’ve ever been to. It was beautifully kept and full of all sorts of interesting things to see. Here are 10 things that caught my eye!
Distich Flash Cards

I’ve been going through and cleaning out hundreds of photos from my recycle bin. Today I came across some photos from our first church art exhibit last Christmas. I had forgotten all about these photos! I had put them on my FB page during the holidays, deleted them after New Year’s, and […]
