Our Day Trip to the Augusta Riverwalk
A random conversation between my husband and I as we were driving there. Me: So what river is this along? Him: The Savannah. When we look across we’ll see South Carolina.

I Love Office Supplies Because……
They’re less expensive than clothing. It’s easier to convince my husband that I need office supplies than clothes or shoes. It’s easier to get a tax write off for office supplies than clothes – I think. I’ve never tried it. Office supplies never hurt my feet. Office supplies never make my butt look big. I […]
