While at the gym on Friday I was taken to look at the quilt, because there was a picture of Ruth Merrill on the quilt and someone saw it and thought it looked just like my grandchild! Friday Night at Craig Edwards Fine Arts...

A recurring piece of advice he gave me along the way was “never believe your own propaganda.” The idea was simple: every side presents their own position as stronger, better, mightier, and more righteous than it actually...
