Seasons Come & Seasons Go
As you know, fall is my favorite time of the year: From the changing colors of leaves falling to the ground, a variety of pumpkins, from Cinderella, to Baking strewn everywhere, and hot drinks and fur-lined boots for that gnat-less, cooler air.

I lived on acetaminophen and ibuprofen, as well … Continue reading Lessons Learned
