BETH’S BITS I have a love-hate relationship with my cell phone. Most of the time I love it. It takes great pictures (which is why I bought it), so far it has enough space for apps that I need and want, and keeps me connected.

BETH’S BITS Memorial Day is special to me, and not just because it’s close to my birthday. The Lord knew what he was doing. He knew I would love cemeteries. I started going to cemeteries with my mom, grandma and aunt around Memorial Day to decorate graves.
