The past week has been quite productive for me, which I would have not imagined a few weeks ago. I have been busy learning how to crochet, working with leather, and goofing around in a “band”…It’s called Sh!t Pickle. I have no idea where the name of the band originates,…

2023 has certainly been off to a wonderful start for me. I began the New Year with asking for forgiveness and being mindful of the many miracles in my life. While I was saddened to see the passing of the retired pope, Benedict XVI, he wrote a last testament of…

Hello~ it’s Tiffany, Ken’s sister here to share the surprised snowman photo that I sent to him via the “Inmate Photos” app. I am an amateur potter who still needs to learn how to correctly affix a carrot nose so that it can survive the kiln. I did eventually glue…
