Greetings Treat-A-Weekers, So my attainable goal (I hope) with this blog is to entertain you. As such, I do my best to find books, movies, shows and more that will capture your attention and give you a bit of a boost. My aspirational goal is to give you ideas that could elevate your life in some small way (I can’t help it, it’s the girl scout in me). So, with...
Do you remember?
Hello Treat-A-Weekers, So, post move I have been going through boxes and boxes of memorabilia and old keepsakes that I haven’t really looked at in decades. Pictures, books, mixed tapes and letters have all been reviewed in an effort to decide what to keep or purge. Of all the things that I am happiest I saved, it’s the letters.
