WWII: Weekend Link Round-Up
My apologies to my readers for being missing in action this past week. My housemate spent three hours in the dentist chair Tuesday, not an easy task for any of us but especially hard for an older lady with stroke damage. Also had a kitty in the vet clinic and then there was just other life-related craziness. Several things have been sitting in my RSS reader waiting to be shared with you:
