As autumn is rapidly coming upon us, I tend to do with more frequency about my mother. She loved the fall weather. Her birthday was in the fall. She loved to vite. All things great about autumn, in her view. Her name was Carmen. She didn’t like her […]
It’s a Sunday night and I’ve been binge watching (way too much bunge watching) the television show Pretty Little Liars. It’s a ridiculous show with plotholes 10 football fields deep. However, it is quite entertaining. Although, I must add the dating relationships for these young pretty liars are […]
