Girl! I can hardly believe we are here again, end of 2019 and getting ready to go full speed into holiday season. Publix (my local supermarket) already has their sweet potato and pumpkin pies up all up in my face--magically jumping into my cart. :))))) Yep, it's holiday season. I love the holidays. Parties with the fam. Hanging with old friends. It doesn't get very cold in Florid[...]
