Happy Birthday & Updates!
Today my wonderful husband turns 37. His grandmother asked us today how we got to that age already. Good question… 36 didn’t feel all that different from 20 really. So Happy Birthday to him! We’re having a fairly quiet day Read More…
What I’m… Updates
It’s that time of the month where I’ve updated the What I’m Reading, What I’m Writing, and What I’m Watching for those curiously inclined to check. 🙂 Lots of unique reading, zombies, and murder going on! I also added a Read More…
