I’ve been listening to Olivia all week. The Grease soundtrack. Physical. So many songs that are such a big part of my life as a Gen X-er. She seemed like such a good light in the world. These are just a couple of my favorites. May she rest in peace.
The Adventures Continue
Last weekend had a few firsts for me. I learned how to play backgammon Friday and both games were close! Granted, S gave me lots of tips and hints, so it probably would have been a blowout otherwise. But it was fun! The next morning we headed to the Saluda River for tubing! I know…not…
