Super Nifty…Look Who’s 50!
A couple of nights ago Aaron and I went to BJs to do some shopping. Big Saturday night out! On the way home, he seemed to have taken a detour.

Last night was amazing! Aaron, Bender, Deb, and I headed to the Cape for dinner and then onto the Cape Cod Melody Tent for the Air Supply concert. After the anguish of the previous week, I was sincerely doubting my ability to enjoy a concert, even one that I had looked forward to for so… Continue reading Lost in Love
Life Throws Lemons…
