In case you don’t happen to live in the desert of ARIDzona (or inside your oven), let me share with you this ARIDzona Moment: A few weeks ago, I was celebrating my birthday. I was 49 again on my way down from 50 the previous year. It was still Monsoon Season (anywhere from late July, […]

My new iPhone got here the day after my birthday, but I couldn’t figure out what to do with it so I waited for my dh to get home. He plugged it in to charge it up and settled in to watch racing with my son telling me to b/up my flip phone contacts using […]
