Happy Anniversary
Yesterday, Keith and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary. Some days, I feel like I love this man with all my heart and then, there are those days when I wonder why are we married to each other – could two people be any more different? However, through it all – the good times and […]

Despite the crazy and unpredictable weather (and the fact that it’s probably causing havoc on the growth of early blooming plants and […]
