Considering that she once lived in Hawaii which was six time zones away, I feel as if she is practically in our back yard.\u00a0 Instead of the painting that we should be doing (we already have spent hours on the task), we are both snuggled up on her sofa doing computer work.\u00a0 Since I am supposed to be writing a blog right now, let&#8217;s get to it.<\/h3>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p

winner) documentary film producer.\u00a0 She knows just what I like, and the last time she was in South Africa, she picked up the cutest gift for me, and I think it is something that you clever ones
