Juliaacv @Juliaacv (51633) • Canada 24 Dec

My memories of Christmas Eve, as far back as I can remember come flooding back to me each year. I remember that I had the front bedroom in our country home. It was a very nice large bedroom. My mother had shades on the windows...

What Is It?

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (51633) • Canada 12 Dec

I am not a 'good sleeper' it seems. I often wake and cannot settle back to sleep. On those occasions I will sit up and read online or just a regular book. I do not currently have a book on the go, so it is myLot to read. As I...
