I don’t like to wear black to a wedding, but I’m between sizes right now, so my choices are limited. I’m wearing a black and cream rose print dress, black sandals, black straw hat, black handbag, robin’s egg blue all-weather coat, and a black mask with robin’s egg blue print.

There was still ice everywhere. He even got one of the Penske moving trucks stuck in ice at one point. Everything took twice as long to do. Mike, Royce ( Read more... )
