Assorted lush shades of green encompass the landscape this time of year. Spring, a time of revival, renewal and start over’s. Yes, start over’s. As in something keeps eating the spring greens in my garden, so now I have to start over. At … [Read more...]
I've forgotten how much fun it is to take a road trip. Cruising down the highway to some cool tunes, aptly selected and managed by my teenage daughter. Stopping for a coffee and then a little snack. Talking, laughing, reminiscing about my … [Read more...]
