Being cooped up for the winter is tough. As I said, I love connecting with the outside… it keeps me sane. We try to spend time outside everyday but when I can’t, daydreaming will have to do… Ahhh, the family trip to Italy last June. It warms me up just thinking about the expansive vistas ... Read More
