Beverly Cleary is one of the few authors my daughter and I both loved.

I love the way this review for "Ramona the Pest" begins:
"Ramona's going to school... who needs a review?"

Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
