I bought a PINK faux Christmas tree. Details and photos forthcoming.
I’m off to Florida for Thanksgiving. Hope my plane doesn’t go down in a ball of flames, as Husban-dito is predicting. Enjoy the turkey (sandwiches on the beach at my parents’ house) and I’ll check in on you all from warmer temps–if I make it there [...]
