Also, this week I was working on a response to a poem I was given in the Spark challenge. It contained a lot of references to burning. A little random research and I was on my way to patron saints, too.Diane Mayrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767689319000732296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868976411159042945.post-77080445997630232572015-09-04T18:22:50.819-04:002015-09-04T18:22:50.819-04:00child would be having a sleepless night thinking o...child would be having a sleepless night thinking of a roasting but then again "Game of Thrones" has some gruesome scenes.
