I LOVE planners!! I have decades of past planners and, yes, occasionally, I look up something in them!  I did that just last week. But, I had a conundrum…I had a regular day-to-day-author-farmer planner, then I had a planner for my duties at church.  Arrrggghhh, two planners. Plus, I keep a calendar on my phone. […]
