Grateful for Mr. Dude: Day 31

Posted on January 1, 2014 by Cheryl Harris

I did save my favorite “grateful” for last, largely because I don’t quite know how to put into words how much he means to me. We’re very different. He’s much more conservative than I am–okay, that may not be clear … Continue reading →
