Ever been to Reynolda Village, Reynolda Gardens and Reynolda House and Museum of American Art in Winston Salem???? I can now say that I have been!

Sometimes when we do a week or more we stay at VRBO's … [Read more...]

This particular evening she actually let me get fairly close to her as I went out and sat on the deck … [Read more...]
