No More Cold Coffee
I hate the way some hot beverages cool off so quickly. At work if I’m in the mood for a hot beverage I drink coffee or hot chocolate. I sip both. A cup of hot chocolate is usually getting cold at ten minutes, coffee a little longer at fifteen. My Mom knew that I like [...]

For about 15 years now I’ve started my holiday decorating on the day after Thanksgiving.
