• PhotoHunt: Wind
  on Mar 31, 2013 in Photography Photo Hunt Nature Florida

• Watch the Time
  on Mar 18, 2013 in Shopping Beauty and Fashion
  My hubby is so anal when it comes to punctuality.  He considers it rude to make people wait.  When we have an appointment, we always make it a point to be there on time (or a few minutes early).  He is also not very patient when people...

• Coastal Living, Anyone?
  on Feb 28, 2013 in Places Lifestyle
