I can’t believe how quickly this week flew by and Christmas is just around the corner!\u00a0 Tonight is brew night and we’ve got a few last-minute errands to run this weekend before everything is ready to go.\u00a0 I’ll be back Monday and Tuesday with posts, and then I’m taking the rest of next week off.\u00a0 Here are a few things that caught my attention this week.<\/p>\n

We just finished watching Alaska: The Last Frontier<\/em> on Netflix, and I was surprised by how much I liked it. Here’s an article about those eccentric homesteaders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Goodbye to Ray Price<\/a>.\u00a0 I grew up listening to these songs: “San Antonio Rose.”<\/a>\u00a0 “Help Me Make it Through the Night.”<\/a>\u00a0 “For the Good Times.”<\/a><\/p>\n

The beautifully-written, heartbreaking glimpse into the life of a homeless child<\/a> in New York City.\u00a0 If you don’t read anything else all weekend, please read this.<\/p>\n
