Pardon me While I get a bit Sentimental
It all starts about mid-May every year. Sweet, sweet memories of the beginnings of the preparation for our wedding. Figuring out what we could do.

A Sneak Peek: Summer of ’79
Sneak Peeks are fun. When I think of the word "prompt" there are several things that come to mind: 1) feeding a line to an actor to nudge the memory2) offering hints or clues to help bring a memory to the surface or help a person remember3) a word or phrase used to evoke ideas… Continue reading A Sneak Peek: Summer of ’79
