Are you ready to switch off your screens and ponder or discuss another writing/conversation prompt from my friend Tyrean Martinson’s book? Here’s my take on it. You all know by now that I have hardly anything worth being called a sweet tooth. Indeed, I sometimes DO bake, though. Although I would not consider myself a […]
Across the Fence: A Gooey Time Trip
There are places on earth that are simply unique – and yet it happens that one doesn’t hear about them at all. It was by mere coincidence that I watched a TV series with my husband that I learned about a place in the middle of Los Angeles that is such a unique destination, and […]
