I’m a woman of a certain age living and loving in Texas. Can’t get real specific because I’m a work in process. I Like to read sci-fi, steampunk and historical fiction, travel all over the planet, stay home on rainy days, go shopping in the middle of the night, and stay be in bed when I should be doing something.
I have many friends who would love this one!
Well share it with them 😀
I love beer, but it’s gone way of milk now. But I still have my coffee and occasionally, a glass or two of red wine…
I wish I could like red wine but it gives me an instant stomach ache for some reason. Strange, guess it’s still beer for me 🙂
What a pity I don’t like beer.
Well there’s always wine 🙂
Lovely stuff it is too……
