Last month my husband bought me a new truck. Prior to getting it, I had only driven a truck twice, and have driven a small car for the past four years. It is definitely taking some getting use too in the driving department. One thing I have really enjoyed about this truck is the dashboard has... Continue Reading →
There is a beautiful scene on my drive home, growing in the corner of someone's yard. The trees are radiant in color.
