I am sure that most people would say Sanj is a fine dresser. He takes pride in his appearance, especially when going out. He keeps up with now verses getting stuck in the then. Yesterday at supper, I mentioned to … Continue reading →

Do I sound like I am in the dumps? I am sick of myself. Lately I feel like I am sinking into depression. Why? Maybe my happy pill isn’t working! LOL. Maybe it is the change of seasons… Seasonal Mood … Continue reading →
