You know, sometimes I just get tired of saying the same things over and over and over.
That was the inspiration for this blog – a sense of frustration.
Instead of telling people about the same events twenty-seven times at the Farmers’ Market cookie table, I can just refer them to the blog.
I finally put my how-to-live-upstate “advice” in a blog post.
Happy Summer!
