Well it’s been a while since I paid any attention to this blog. What can I say? I had a busy Summer! Between my brother and sister-in-law visiting for about 2 months, going out of town every chance we got, getting ready for Romania & Italy and then actually going to Romania & Italy, there just wasn’t [...]
Addiction is a strong word, but I think for many people out there it’s the right one. Myself included. There, I said it. How did I get here, you might wonder? I will tell you how: step by step. One day at a time, one friend that really isn’t my friend at a time, one [...]

Bearmore is actually [...]
