Before I even get into the Dinner with Pooh, I am going to throw out my first ever OMG! (I have never put those three letters together before in my life, ALL CAPS or lowercase). When we first saw the Pooh evening advertised last week and talked to our girl […]
We are having dinner with The Grand Pooh-bah tonight in the hundred acre wood…make that a local supermarket. We stopped into this store, one that we pretty much never frequent, last week, only to pick up some bananas for an Easter party at our girl’s school and what to our […]
