Thursday morning I talked about how unbearably hot the Sweat Shop has been lately. This isn’t really “news” to us, but since it’s now summer outside, it’s even hotter inside.

The weather was warm, the sky a little overcast, and you know we enjoyed chatting over sparkling juice, sandwiches and brownies. I’m learning really fast how important it is to have little friend dates throughout the week…. [Read More]
