I arrived home from a trip to California on Tuesday night and sneezed. I don't want to get sick.

Appointment? Wonder Why We Wait So Long?
Three months ago, I made a doctor's appointment and I waited and waited and waited. Ever wonder why?
Ready for a Wild Ride?
I'm ready. My bags are packed and the drinks are on ice. Soon, I'll be on the road. My husband, Danny, and I will travel almost thousand miles in two days. We've driven more miles in less time, but plan to stop along the way. What kind of adventures are ahead? There will be quite... Continue Reading →
