When the inclination at Christmas is more, more, more realizing you already have what you need can be a great relief, economically and emotionally. Hubby and I didn’t get any new Christmas ornaments or decorations this year. What we have, we like. Well-loved Christmas decor brings with it what happy associations there were in years […]
I’ve been experimenting with text-to-voice software, useful for those with reading disabilities and tired eyes.
