Secular Sunday – Grifting, I Mean, Grieving Widow?

Secular Sunday – Christmas: Behind The Curtain

Saturday Snap – Getting Fancy For Shea’s Christmas Party

Pretty amazing that one of the doctors that Shea works with picked up the entire tab for a Christmas party, both for the staff at his clinic plus the unit he works with the most at the hospital. And he didn’t cheap out – appetizers, full buffet meal, photo booth, games, DJ and dancing.  It […]
