STARBUCKS?!
Ugh. Starbucks. You have cut me to the quick. ;) Glad you liked Sevilla so much. Been a busy week, working, dog-sitting for friend, Ruth...now I have 4 dogs. Added Chihuahua, Sidney, to the pack. The little Spanish gal fits in well. Tomorrow is M2M...making spaghetti for supper. Making sandwiches for the runners. Collin Lindley is replacing John Matson. Love you Devin! Aunt T
