I like food BUT... I am not what one would call a foodie, but I do like to try different things.

A moment of revalation Has anyone ever said to you, “Just a moment”?? Then, have you wondered how long you were supposed to wait? Well, that exact thing happened to me, just the other day. I was holiday shopping with my wife and daughter. My wife went off to purchase my Christmas gift and I …
A little bit of history In 1897 an eight-year-old girl, named Virginia O’Hanlon, wrote the New York Sun, a newspaper which is now out of business, a letter asking is there was a Santa Claus.

Welcome Christmas Fa who foraze Well, the Christmas season is upon us. Now, I know the reason for the season and why we celebrate.
