Heavenly.

Posted on September 14, 2019 by

Calorie Count: The Usual Suspects

Posted on August 17, 2019 by

“So what did you do in NYC”? *thinks* “Well, let’s see. We went to lunch. We went to dinner…” *awkward silence* Of course, that’s not all we did. There might have been a breakfast in there somewhere. Just kidding! Oh, … Continue reading →

Just a moment(s).

Posted on August 10, 2019 by

Apologies to those hoping for more puppy pictures. The action has shifted 3,000 miles eastward and I feel like I have walked at least that far this week. 17,630 steps yesterday, 18,112 the day before and miles and miles to … Continue reading →
