Holidays

My Favourite Photo of 2011 I can’t count the number of times I’ve said “Have a Happy New Year” to folks I’ve seen during the holiday season.  Was 2011 “happy” for you?  Despite the heartache of coping with the passing of one of my sweet little Yorkies, I can say with confidence that I made [...]
