Happy New Year! Last week I told Mr. Munro I would like to go shopping on New Year's day. I backed up the suggestion with additional information, saying the sales were on and I thought it would be quiet. "Okay," Mr. Munro said. "I want to buy some summer clothes. A...
I love my husband. I love cycling. Logic would dictate that cycling with my husband would be lots of fun. In a word--no! Something about the combination of husband and a bicycle brings out the competitive gene in him. He has to beat me to our destination. Of course,...
