  • A Post For Monday

    Happy Monday! The weekend was beautiful and Greg and I were lucky to be in one of the most beautiful spots around…Newport, RI. We attended a wedding on Friday night for one of Greg’s former co-workers. We had lots of fun exploring Newport with all of its restaurants and shops. I absolutely loved the centerpieces […]
