Look Out – My Brain May Be On Fire

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 40 Comments/ 610

My dear sweet husband has a way of imparting knowledge that no one else on earth can possibly come up with.  It is one of his more endearing qualities.  He is somewhat of a sponge.  Read a fact and it stays with him for life. Continue reading →
