Shop ‘n gab with Tracy

Yum, yum, yum…spinach pie I haven’t done all that much shopping in 2005. At least not for myself. (For the boy, plenty!) So I was all geared up to head to the mall with Tracy the other night. We started out at Olga’s, where we dined and dished on all […]

Girls’ night at Tokyo Grill
