Quiet has returned to Stauffer Avenue. Dennis and I agree that sometimes we need that reminder as to how our home is our safe refuge and it may be more than some want bad enough to put in the prayer, time and energy. On a light note, I pulled a crochet pattern out and are giving the arthritic fingers a working out during these chilly days. It worked for Carrie and Kevin’s grandmother, Esther Schafer. If you don’t use the fingers, they enjoy getting a bit stiff and brittle.
