November 2016
Hard to believe it is November already and we have not even had the heat on yet, and YES, I am still wearing my flip flops! And where has 2016 gone? I had so many things on my "to-do list" that never even got looked at - how does that happen? I think I need a "good twin" to take on some of my ideas that I seem to never have time for.... hahaha
