‘Week of Wendi’ Wraps Up… Almost 

By

I have been celebrating my birthday for a week for more than half my life. (Wow! Does that make me feel old.) Each year it is fun to try to figure out ways to make it different or memorable. This year was no different. Thanks to my wonderful husband, Bobby, who is so kind and generous, I might have gotten really spoiled ... again.

I don't keep track of such things because Mom is always around to tell us how old we are. Sometimes she has to count down from the year we came to the house.

So, anyhow, Mom tells me it is my birthday but then I hear her tell … [Read more...]

However, I have been wanting to try Bosco's Pizza Kitchen again, and so Wendi and I ordered a pizza and wings for carryout. Longtime readers of this blog will know I like pizza, and I like Neapolitan-style pizza, the kind … [Read more...]
