Taking Care Of A Great Lady

by Smitty Baldilocks is a great blogger, author, veteran and Christian. I’ll admit to being only a couple of chapters into her book, as I’ve mostly been reading non-fiction of late, but I can vouch that it’s well written. Do lend consideration as you’re able. Blessings, lady.

Somebody Has To Stand Up For The SEIU
