It is a gift beyond measure when you have friends who live in paradise and are willing to share their little slice of heaven with you for ten days.

Lately I feel like we are surviving each day on borrowed time. Rushing from contests, to work, to swim meets and back home again. Our meals even feel like they are sacrifices to Father Time, thrown together boring repeats that get us out the door in a pinch. Last week though I ditched the rat […]
