Saving Money as a New Year’s Resolution

January 2, 2013

It seems that resolutions are “in” again. I like that. I’m a fan of people wanting to improve their lives and the communities they live in. It doesn’t matter what time of year it happens.

February 17, 2011

Last Monday Hubby took me out for a non-Valentine’s dinner. We went to an amazing restaurant in Hamilton, Shakespeare’s.
