It was a beautiful day and Alex and I had decided to take a quick trip to the shore. We got in the car and were parked and walking on the boardwalk in less than 30 minutes. “I love how close we are to the beach.” I said as we strolled along the boards headedContinue reading “LITTLE NIBBLE”

I grabbed my car keys off the counter-top and tore the shopping list off the pad. “I’m going grocery shopping!” I called out. “Last chance if you need something!” “Wait!” Alex called and came out of his room. “What did you want to add?” I went over to the drawer to get a pen. “LetContinue reading “WAIT A MINUTE”
