“Julie, do you remember Beverly Barlow?” My Mom asked when she called to wish me Bon Voyage on my upcoming trip to Norway. It was more of a statement than a question. “Mary George’s niece, from Louisville. Remember her?” The name was familiar, and I vaguely recollected a freckle-faced red … Continue reading
I’m on cloud 9. I have just returned from an absolutely amazing weekend in the rolling hills of Tennessee. And yes, it was because of facebook, once again.

After all, football has begun, pools are closing, the days are getting shorter, and many of us have packed-away our white sandals until … Continue reading
