Never Too Late to Make Your Dreams Come True
I just got back from a slumber party, and it was all shades of fun. Every woman was present. Young, younger and youngest cos I don’t want to use the word ‘old.’ We had single women, married, divorced and widowed. About 40 women under one roof. I haven’t laughed and giggled as hard as I Read More…
