At the end of the week, like so many others, I will fall into the tradition of thinking about love and the people I love. So, amidst the planning for dinners, gatherings, candy deliveries, and sweet words, I thought I’d get my love note out early. Instead of tagging you with 25 things about me, […]
It’s Dean Elmore’s trusty assistant, Kat, again, reminding you that Dean Elmore is looking for your favorite Beanpot photos for his Beanpot photo contest.
