During this pandemic and its related quarantine, I’ve learned quite a bit about myself. I love sitting on the front porch and watching nature. I love having my husband work from home. Oh, and evidently, I’m both a neatnik and a total slob at the same time. Think these two ways of living can’t possible […]

During this quarantine, I’ve discovered a lot about my husband. Like if he could, he’d work from home forever. Or how he likes sitting on the front porch to watch hummingbirds just as much as I do. Oh, and he’s cheating on me. But it’s not what you think: it’s not with another woman (or […]

It’s part “Northern Exposure” and part Lifetime or the Hallmark channel movie. That goes a long way to explaining the group’s reaction, and hostility, towards the film…including from Debbie. The best part […]
