I hate funerals and even more funeral parlors. Dead bodies don’t bother me. But the flowers, priests garbs hanging on the walls and pictures were bothersome. Even more bothersome was that my father’s cold body laid in a coffin and hardly anything about him was recognizable. He was recognizable in the hospital over the past […]

Pottery Barn in Roosevelt Field Mall is Closing! I adore that store and was so sad to see the notice stating that the Rockville Location will be closing on January 11th. Everything in the store is 20% off…which is kind of unheard of because it is hard to get a Pottery Barn discount code or […]
