Today two of our dear friends from the States arrived to stay with us. True to form, I neglected to take any photos of our very photogenic evening out together. The good news is that we have days of ...
Today I had one of those days that would have been much better with that positive outlook I mentioned yesterday. I had fun things scheduled that I had to miss due to my faulty immune system, and inst...
