Future Plans for Cutie’s Bible Study!

Neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor backlash from others could stop Cutie’s from holding their Bible Study. On Monday night, those of us loyal to the cause attended one final Bible Study for 2025.

It’s the Last Day of Summer, and Relief is Coming!

Back in May, we were stuck in a damp, cool weather pattern. This coming on the heels of a warm, Mother‘s Day weekend when we opened the pool. I didn’t get in the pool until exactly a month later. Go figure with this Pennsylvania weather. The second half of the month was mostly cool andContinue reading “It’s the Last Day of Summer, and Relief is Coming!”
