Moonlighting

CheriGENERAL

Number One Son is a teacher by day and a suave and debonnaire limo driver by night (and weekend). Mr. D and I have never rode in a limo. In fact, until last month, we’d never even sat in  one of these luxury liners.  So …  Mr. D and I enjoyed a 5 minute “staytrip” … Read More
