Good morning from Maine where my kids are still basking in the glow of Santa’s visit yesterday. We have a full day of unplanned fun ahead of us. I hope that you also have a fun ahead of you.
I didn’t write or publish any blog posts yesterday and I won’t be writing anything new next week. I always take the last week of the year off from writing new blog posts. Next week I’ll be re-running some of the most popular posts that I published in 2020. Speaking of popular posts, take a look at this week’s list below.
These were the week’s most popular posts:
