Fashion Friday: Wrinkles!
We had a cousin reunion last weekend and snapped these very fashionable photos. Look at how old I look compared to my cousins. See those lines between my eyebrows and on my cheeks? Damn, I am old. The pretty…
San Francisco Home Tour
Here’s a glimpse at what’s on the market in SF. Yeah, it’s pretty insane what people pay to live in the city. I can only imagine what it would be like if we moved anywhere else in the U.S. with…
