Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you.”  Nicholas Klein Way too much stress in the nation right now.  Are you left, or are you right? Are you a Republican? Are you a Democrat? Did he do it?

There is not one person that knew Nikki Hardin and had anything but love for her. She worked closely with the Tourette Syndrome group here in the United States and she championed and raised funds for them. She had her own group she mentored called the Sunshine Group.  I am not sure if it is still even functioning.  I was left with

Do you remember when you were engaged? Terry proposed on a sailboat as we were heading into a sunset.  Cannot get much more romantic than that. Share with me y
