Good Afternoon, everyone- although it’s still morning where I am right now. Greetings from beautiful and sunny San Diego! I got into town on Saturday afternoon after a rather bumpy flight as we passed over a series of storms and high winds throughout the Midwest. Although I was feeling a little groggy and nauseous by […]
I love you, September- I really, truly and sincerely do! You are the gateway from my beloved hot and hazy days of Summer to my absolute favorite crisp and brisk Autumn nights. You are the month when all things pumpkin, apple, cozy and comforting make their triumphant comeback and I’m always sad when it’s time […]
