Join a group that sings at nursing homes
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’ve been praying for spring! It certainly has been a challenging few weeks weather-wise. The Andover Community Coffeehouse appears to be quite an attraction. Local talent gets the opportunity to perform before the group of people attending. It certainly has proven to be highly entertaining. This […]

Many of the fairy tales contained cruelty and violence and unhappy endings. Because of this, they were originally intended for adults. Over the years, these […]
