by Gary Kennedy Well, Halloween has come and gone. Julie and I went to a friend’s house to share with them and to see all the adorable children in their costumes. Our friends give the Cadillac of candies and the children are aware of that. We are always assured of family and friends, which is […]
by Gary Kennedy Purple is such a magnificent color. I have a wall that is a shade of purple. It’s been pleasing to my eyes for more than 35 years. It has never seemed to fade, although, I am sure it won’t last forever. However, I can’t seem to imagine any other color that is […]
