Posted 4-8-20 Howdy fellow Digital Cornbread Table Sitter-Atters! We are finally at mid-week, I think. Where is my stinkin’ calendar?

Shawshank Re:Dementia (Day 14)
Posted 3/26/20 Happy Thursday to all! What a week it has been! Cabin fever yet? Yup…me too. BUT, as I type, the early bird is already outside serenading the empty streets as if he is the lone flute in a parade. The squirrels are unpacking and gallivanting around, making all sorts of sounds in the…
