On Turning 48 (Just One Step Closer to 50)
Today is my birthday.
Yep, I'm 48 years old.

A Quick Trip: Key West
I know I said that I wasn’t going to do any traveling for a while. But I guess that I’m a big fat liar. My husband’s birthday is today. And, last week, when I asked him what he wanted to do, he said he wanted to go away. Guess last year’s stay-at-home celebration was too...
