Walking, Bubble Bath, Baby Love

Three beautiful things:
1.  Walking 3 miles with women I have never met before, but came to really enjoy their company and hearing their stories and getting to share mine.

3. Parker hugged me today [...]

How to Eat a Cheesburger

I have a new best friend.  Her name is Tiffabee.  We’ve never actually met.  We’ve never shared an email or chatted on line.  In fact, Tiffabee doesn’t even know I exist.  But that doesn’t make me love her any less.  You see, I found her blog, How to Eat a Cheeseburger, and I’m hooked.  This [...]
