The other day, we had a chance to visit Showa Memorial Park, a local scenic park that’s the size of a small amusement park. It was a beautiful, sunny spring day in the low 70s. A light breeze kept the … Continue reading
If ever I’ve been irked, it’s now. In fact, I think it’s safe to say that I’m more irked now than I’ve ever been in my life. “Irked” doesn’t cover the half of it. You see, my husband has been … Continue reading
