The Funniest Thing Happened in Tampa!
Ditching The Cold It was January in Tennessee and it was cold (yes, we are wimps now). So cold we might have been back in Chicago again! We decided we had to escape! Good thing our house has wheels! We’d been talking about going to The Keys, but that was so far and so full…
