I love to shop! And a lot of that shopping is for the eight grandchildren who call us “Gram” and “Pop” besides the bonus of three foster godsends. I have no problem spending hours scouring for the best bargain, while praying along the way for the Lord to help me find exactly what is needed. … Continue reading Personal Shopper!
