I am going to keep writing to a […]

The hot topic that EVERYONE wants to know about

by Sharon

If this were a gossip blog, we would have no readers. The most commonly asked question regarding our trip is “are they getting sick of each other yet?”  This may have been a tough question to answer if we were a dramatic couple, but for gossip’s sake we are not. Therefore I am going to simplify […]
