From time to time we all need a break from the daily grind. I know as a single parent who raised 2 children that, at times, I need to stop and regroup, as they say take time to "Stop and smell the roses". So grab your cup of java, hot chocolate, soda or your beverage of choice. Sit back and see if you can solve the riddle or the "Say what you see" blips found on this blog. I will try to put at least two items here for your "down time" each time I write a blog. This blog will hopefully help you stop, relax and enjoy a few minutes to yourself.

I have also included two brain teasers for fun.

7. "And her daughter, Gypsy."

Thank you Becky!!! I will tell them hello from you. They always enjoyed riding your bus and the fun times. They still remember the bus getting stuck in the yard when we had a ton of snow and they still laugh. You're a awesome lady! Thank you for keeping them safe all those years. Bless you and keep in touch.
