Had a fantastic trip to San Diego, especially since we stayed on Coronado Island- Absolutely Paradise. Friday stayed at the lodge at 32nd st. Took the Trolley to the Gaslamp Quarter and listened to live music at The House of Blues.

Now & Then

Thought I would get creative and take a photo of my wedding photo- it worked. Seems like yesterday we were at the alter - top photo 22 years later. Always remember to "Sieze The Day"

MY NEW BUSINESS

Thought I would share my new business with you. I am very excited to get going with this and have just joined with a local flooring store where I can place my display. It shows 16 different shades, so I hope to get some leads from it. I also have a beautiful line of fabrics for the soft treatments. Wish me luck!
