I couldn’t ask for anything more today. As I sit her reflecting on what I’d like to share I feel the warmth of the fireplace radiating on my back, our little bulldog Biggie is sleeping in his favorite spot sunbathing, and I hear the sound of music coming from the garage as my lovely husband… Continue reading Merry Christmas ~ 2010
