• One Name

  Do you have this problem too? I saw this woman and knew I worked with her, but for the world I could not think of her name. It was frustrating… and thankfully I was able to see her again before we left the store. It’s funny when I was working, there were just people I…

• 1924

  There are so many photos taken that I nearly don’t need words. If a photo is literally worth a 1000 words these photos should speak for themselves right? This little guy looks pretty happy doesn’t he? He was an only child at this point. Bill and Mary, his parents lived in Carlisle and went to…

• A Navy Veteran With Morals

  Iowa is a so-called Red State right, so how did this happen in the first place? The Governor is Republican and the State Assembly is considered a Red State so how does a satanic statue display get to be assembled at the Capitol?
