JEANETTE’S VIGNETTES

Last week was really a calm week for me because I didn’t have too many things on my agenda. I just enjoyed being at my house and thought about all of the advantages I have of living out in the country. So many people over the past few years have asked me why I don’t just move to Dallas.
