Over the last several weeks I’ve had outings every Saturday.  All but one has found me tramping around on cool, cloudy rain-filled days.  But last Saturday – October 15th – was the exception.  My friend Diane from high school invited…

This past Saturday, the original four Skunk Hollow Girls met at Volant (just outside of Grove City, PA) to have a fun day of shopping and visiting.  It seems like forever since we’ve done that, and despite the rain and…
