Better Know a Country ~ Saint Lucia

Short Takes on the Day 11/28/08

Well, hope everyone is fat as a tick and lazing the day away. None of that silly racing to stores in the middle of the night for me! I don’t do crowds and we don’t buy much of anything, so we are saved from the frantic rush to purchase what we don’t need at those [...]
