I am a city girl at heart. Perhaps that is why I appreciate baby carriages. Each of my four had her/his own as well as a stroller. That is why I traditionally purchase one or the other for parent(s) expecting the first. But back in my day baby furniture was simple, basic, more limited – [...]

Rain Rain Go Away – Away From Florida
Why does it rain in Florida whenever I am on a photo safari? Things have gotten so bad that next time around I plan to pack an underwater scuba mask in with my luggage so I can see through the deluge. It would protect any eye makeup and eyelash enhancer as well. Cloudbursts with downpours [...]
