What I Liked About August

NYC Plan
I loved everyone’s ideas and advice for spending time in NYC. The plan is coming together! We’re going in mid-October: lots of time yet to finalize. Flights are booked – it’s a little under 2.5 hours direct, exactly the same

Tea Freedom
Hey, I forgot to report that in July, I reached Tea Freedom! I had a whole cupboard full of tea bags, most of which I received in gift sets. In January, I vowed to use them all up. By May,
