I was just getting all snuggled up on the couch wearing my sweatpants, tee shirt and an oversized sweatshirt – what I like to consider my pajamas – when Steven walked in wearing the same thing. “I guess we both had the same idea.” he said as he sat down on the couch and pickedContinue reading “JAMMIE TIME”

I grabbed the phone to make a quick call to my younger sister, Donna. After a few rings she picked up. “You’re never going to believe what I was just asked?” I laughed. “I couldn’t even guess.” she said. “Someone wanted to know what my twin was up to!” “Oh, my gosh!
