Hi, Hola. Welcome to the World of the Gringo
It’s that time of year again! The Montmorency cherries are ready to pick and the Payaso and I came away from nearly 15 pounds of cherries this year. First, a little history… Montmorency cherries are named after a region in France. Believed to be one …
This post is important to me. It’s also very emotional and was difficult to write. I want to preface it by saying that the Payaso and I are so thankful for the love and support from our friends and family. The love and support for …
“Hello, hello, hello….” “I’m back, back, back again…” Taps computer; okay SHAKES computer…. “Payaso, is this thing still working!? Do you remember how I log in?” No, really, “Hello? It’s me…” Well, friends, it’s been over two years since I’ve posted anything on this blog-o-mine …
