Yesterday, while at the hairdressers, I noticed how tan most of the girls were that worked in the shop. They are all active in sports and spend a lot of time outdoors. My friend and hairdresser, Pam, plays golf all the time and is in such good shape. My dream vacation would be to visit [...]

I just finished reading James Patterson’s novel, 1st to Die. I had trouble putting this book down! My husband suggested I get a book light. LOL He is normally accommodating to me reading in bed but I pushed it a little by reading into the wee hours of the morning. Just when I thought I [...]

There is a big difference in ice cream, as far as I am concerned. I love Atz and Glover’s brands when I go to an ice cream stand. When I go to the grocery, I prefer Breyers. Schwan ice cream is yummy too. This is the recipe I use when I make home made ice [...]
