Vacation, all I ever wanted

I’ve been wanting to wait until I can get through editing all the pictures (about 2,000) before I post about our trip. I would never blog again. We got to go somewhere I’ve been wanting to go for a long time: ICELAND! We were only there for two days. You could spend weeks. I’m goingContinue reading “Vacation, all I ever wanted”

I doubt Netflix would see it the same. If anyone is cheap frugal, it’s me, and I’m all for getting somethingContinue reading “Sigh, Netfilx…or, yep, I’m crazy frugal”
