READ MOREFriday’s Rants from the Soap Box in MY Living Room!
Happy New Year. I hope you all had a very peaceful and happy Christmas. We did, it was blissfully quiet and just us for the most part. Just what we needed. I have lots of rants brewing in my head, but have deliberately taken a few days off from blogging to just have time out […]
