Feeling like a fool. Well, not really, but feeling very confused and I am well aware of a huge clock ticking overhead. We need to be out of our house by October, but of course we need to find a house before that, for inspections, closing, moving etc… We could
Three roofs, five air conditioners and one hundred palm trees. This has been my mantra for years, my reason for wanting to sell this house and downsize. We’ve been here 21 years and about a month ago, we sold our house. Finally. People think I am crazy. People think I’ve

So I got a colonoscopy the other day (not the way most food blogs start, I know). I will spare you the gory details, but the worst part is definitely the stuff you have to drink the night before (and in my case at 3 am!), but the day before
