So Did John Wesley…

Last updated on: March 1, 2024 at 11:45 am By Jim R. Copenhaver

The holiday of Thanksgiving is deeply rooted in Christian traditions. It’s a time when families, friends, and entire communities come together to express gratitude for the blessings they have received.

The stands are jammed packed with family and friends. The concession stands are loaded up with delicious favorites. The crowd jumps to their feet as... Read more

They are so majestic and seem to be prehistoric, these trees are a high end squirrel resort with plenty of squirrel amenities. Filled with plenty of acorns for food, branches, carve-outs and leaves for great shelter, hiding places and entertainment. Last week I noticed tons of squirrels on the ground and... Read more
