And were off.. We have battled our way through sickness. Knock on wood that we have seen the end of fevers, coughing and vomit for at least the next three weeks. We have met the challenge of the scummy land lord and defeated her evil plot to ruin our vacation. Accepted that our vacation for four now includes EXTRA guests…. View Post
Dear Writers of the Young and the Restless
