Tidewater Tales










Learning about playing with a video cam is fun, good thing it's easy. Watch and burn with me..and stick around for a few smiles.

The video below, makes me cry every time I watch it. I'm just so grateful to have it.

Meanwhile, visit and hope your stay is fine, scroll down and read some old stuff, new stuff, rants, and memories. Hope ya feel right at home, glad for the company.

This is truly COURAGE in motion to take the WALK alone at prom!

Teen at it again! CNN no less!
