We live in a fairly small house, officially it’s something like 1,000 square feet, unofficially it’s a bit bigger because the basement doesn’t seem to be counted as livable space. Throughout the years we’ve lived in apartments of many sizes and finally our small house. Since we love to read, we have lots and lots […]
Besides really, really liking my coffee — I drink a lot of tea. A friend suggested an outing to Teavana at Tyson’s Corner, VA. So this evening we went. Since it’s slightly more than an hours drive to Tyson’s Corner from home, we met our friends for dinner, conversation, lots of catching up and then […]
