WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEW YEAR’S EVE?
Love this Nancy Wilson song. When I was younger I used to celebrate New Year Eve’s at venues with outrageous cover charges and lots of strange people.

HOSTESS GIFTS
Tis the season for parties! Bringing the hostess a thoughtful gift is nice gesture. I love flowers, but it is always awkward when a guest walks in and hands you a large bouquet of beautiful flowers, that need to be cut, arranged and placed in a vase. I have a tendency to run a bit […]
