Clear water shading from dark turquoise to the clear &hellip Continue reading »

What NOT To Give Your Sweetie For Christmas

Every magazine I pick up recently has articles about what to give your girlfriend/fiancé/wife for Christmas. Beautiful, glittering piles of decadent chocolates, imaginatively scented soaps, exquisite jewelry and exotic trinkets like a bejeweled iPhone case sparkle enticingly from the pages.

Eating and Beaching at the Lovely Henderson Park Inn

Shoes, Glorious Shoes!

I wouldn’t want you to think that I might possibly like shoes, but I have an entire shoe closet. That’s right. A shoe closet.
