A Short Drive

It’s that time of week again, where we welcome the wit and wisdom of our Canadian friend Paul Curran. We just turned the clocks ahead in the U.S., so “Spring Ahead” means you actually had to wait an hour less for the 3 a.m. Eastern publish time to arrive, luck readers! Here’s Paul. Well I’ve…

Back in the Saddle

It’s a happy Sunday here at the Little Bitty. My great Bloggyville friend from Canada is back.

Virgin Territory — the Beginning

Scandalous and a New Leather Jacket

We’re fortunate enough again this Sunday to host the weekly Cuppa column from my Canadian friend Paul Curran while usual host Willow takes a bit of a break at her place across the pond at willowdot21.
