The Cemetery Club is only 99 cents on Amazon! When you listen to the news, do you ever ask, “Why?” That’s a favorite word for young children whose curiosity leads them to learn.

At least, we’ve started a more benevolent season, if we ignore the threat of tornadoes that comes along with spring. One bit of folklore is […]
