cocktails, island style, stories & beautiful blue water
I’ve tried to convince myself that there are some good points to the change of season. When forced to admit it, there are a few things I like about fall and I made the most of them today. Though outside it was a rainy, miserable day, inside there was home-made chicken soup simmering on the cooktop, college football on television,… Read More
Summer 2009 officially ends Tuesday September 22 @ 5:18PM EDT, sigh. It’s the autumnal equinox and even for those of us who hold on to summer as long as possible – after Labor Day, after school has started, heck even after football season has kicked off – it’s over for another year…at least according to the calendar.
