I have been away for nearly a week. I am pretty sure that by now my husband has taken over the entire bed and my dog has forgotten who I am. But I have been having a good time sailing around the Caribbean aboard the Crown Princess. Upon my return […]
This is the time of year where we tend to chop down a whole bunch of trees and decorate them. I have no issue with that (and am looking forward to my very first tree trimming party this weekend. But when the folks at Green Gestures said they wanted to […]
