She May Be More Than Just the New Annie

Posted on December 3, 2021 by cdsmiller17

Celina Smith (May 12, 2008?) OK. This is one for the books. There is a decided lack of birth information for this young lady. That may have been by design because the role she played last night in Annie Live! … Continue reading →

Posted on December 2, 2021 by cdsmiller17

Jody Wilson-Raybould (March 23, 1971) I meant to buy and read this book earlier, but too many things got in the way, until today. I knew she was an honest woman, from the time of the SNC-Lavalin affair from more … Continue reading →
