Feeling guilty

Posted on February 19, 2014 by Sue Vincent

When toes cause headaches

Posted on February 16, 2014 by Sue Vincent

Posted on February 11, 2014 by Sue Vincent

Posted on January 29, 2014 by Sue Vincent

Houston, we have a problem. I’ve always wanted to say that… though I’m not sure who this Houston guy is. Basically, it is the door. She has some weird ideas about when it should be open…and closed. Take today. There … Continue reading →

Clockwork

Posted on January 22, 2014 by Sue Vincent
