What a fun, gorgeous weekend! The weekend started off Friday evening with a visit from my BFF Lori, who hasn’t been out to visit for 100 years. We used to get together often, but circumstances for both of us have gotten in the way the past several months. She came out and spent the night, [...]

What a beautiful weekend in the South! We had temps in the upper sixties and sunshine, wonderful outdoor weather.

I’m not feeling deprived of food, and I’m not on a diet so I guess this is the way to do it. It’s been a whirlwind, interesting not-necessarily-in-a-good-way month at our [...]
