I am getting back to work here

The song When You Say Nothing At All sticks in my head, and it is a frequent companion on my travels between the Tidewater of Virginia and the Georgia Low Country.

Christmas Tunes All Year
At any given moment, it may happen. Sometimes it makes me laugh, sometimes it makes me crazy. Sometimes, even on a hot July Sunday on I-95 North coming home from South Carolina it happens. You may have the same issue I do, so you will understand. Christmas music on my smart phone. Need I say … Continue reading Christmas Tunes All Year
