Friday, January 27 2012
The boys named him Duke. Like his namesake, John Wayne, Duke strutted around, ruled the roost, and didn't take any guff. Only difference was, our Duke was a rooster.

I thought I would turn to it when I needed something lighter, like cleansing your palate after a heavy meal. But what a fantastic surprise! This little book ... Read more...
