50-shmifty and still plucking..

Well howdy, fans! It has been a while since my last blog. Why? Life, that’s why. But I’m still here. I’m still plucking- and I’ll be turning 50 soon. There are big changes out there just waiting to be discovered. This has been a year of questioning- everything. Like- why does 3 glasses of redContinue reading “50-shmifty and still plucking..”
