Morning Photo Shoot – Christmas Eve Morning
It was the day before Christmas, and all through the town, not a liberal was stirring, their cars were frozen down. (No, I am not going to continue the poem, that would be too cruel to us all.) If we keep muttering, “This is why we left Minnesota” please forgive us. We forgot what it […]
