**Kristin Emily** A Double Scoop for June 2023 - Writing with Artificial Intelligence??

Click here to read this letter on the web June 2023 Hello! Here we are, almost at the longest day of the year. And we all ask in chorus, "Where does the time go??" For Gregg and me, half of our May involved a visit to Ireland. This is the first vacation (besides a cruise) where we stayed in ONE place the whole trip. That means we slept in our bed, traveled, slept for 10 nights in our friends, Kim and Dixie's home, traveled, then slept in our own bed. GLORIOUS!!! Refreshing and relaxing. You...

Click here to read this letter on the web May 2023 Happy Spring! Are you looking forward to saying hello to summer or sad to say goodbye to winter? I'm sad to say goodbye to the cooler and less humid Florida winter weather. Yet I'm looking forward to things we have planned this summer. One plan is to take a road trip through Canada. From PA, we will rent a car and head north of Toronto so I can meet "in real life" an online writing friend then head west across Canada to enjoy gorgeous Banff...

July 2022 Hello, Wonderful Friend! Have you stopped lately to ponder what makes you YOU? We are each unique, fashioned by God to reflect Him in a way that no one else can. What are the qualities, interests, and talents that make you different from me and others? A word-picture that has stuck with me explained that the moon doesn't give off any light of its own, yet it is so very bright because it is reflecting the sun.
