Marblehead
We just returned from a much needed vacation in Marblehead, MA. Two days of driving, but worth it.We stopped first at Tony’s sister’s place in Maine. Our brother in law, Chuck, of Cycles Immortal Fame is a mechanic extraordinaire. Pretty cool for Dusty to have an uncle with a shop full of motorcycles and at…
a fascination with fascinators
I officially declare this fascinator thing a frenzy. I have to admit that when things become trendy I want to run away, but I just watched this little video that really calmed me down and gave me an appreciation for how a beautiful fashion icon like Princess Kate can shape a culture. It is a…
