  • Madagascar’s Covid-19 Cure

    It’s no more news that Madagascar found a cure for Covid-19 and that some African governments are reaching out to purchase some.

    Is it not a beautiful day? From our places of comfort and seclusion, I trust everyone can get at least a warm and beautiful view of nature, of trees swinging in strong winds, of bird cries across the skies, and sunshine over quiet country or town. I’ll love to share your experiences over a bottle…

  • Lockdown by Greech Psalms mgms

    As I’ve watched the streets thru this glass wall..
