Donations to support this site are always appreciated.

I’d like to thank the following people who have used the Donate link on this site in 2014 to send me a token of their appreciation and help support this site.

The generous contributions of readers like these help make this site possible. Not only do they help me cover the cost of hosting an ad-free site that gets thousands of hits a day, but they encourage me to keep writing here — to keep sharing my experiences, opinions, and photos with people who apparently find value in them.

It’s not too late to get your name added to this list. Click the Donate link in the navigation bar on any page to access an easy-to-use form for making a donation to my Paypal account.

Or, if you’d like something more concrete than my thanks for your contribution, you can also find links there for accessing my online store of crafts and other items or an Amazon link you can use to shop for yourself (or others) and have a small contribution made by Amazon to me — at no extra cost to you at all!

I sure do appreciate it!
