Taken from “The Aeneid” – “Of arms and the man, I sing.” OK it’s a poem celebrating war, struggles, conflicts…..what else is new? I rarely make resolutions, because I hate failure!! However, this year (2022) a knitting friend of mine shared a post on FB about a “Joy Jar.” Well, maybe it wasn’t actually called […]
