Go Camo Chic Hey, ladies! Until just recently, I would have said, “Me in camo, what do you think I am, a redneck?” LOL! Right? Well, true and false…. it all depends on what type of camo print you pick, the style of the garment and the color pattern of the camo.

When Life Creates Friction Tim and I are about to go on an end-of-the-summer long weekend vacation this coming weekend. Upon return, I am taking two weeks off from blogging to organize the site and do some techy stuff behind the scenes. Since this is my departing post, I wanted to leave you with a post about a sensitive issue that you may also be experiencing….. ……..That issue is “Friction”. When Friction Creates Sadness You may recall that I turned 58 back in August. It seems that every year since I turned 50, there has been a new issue to deal with every single year.
