A Perfect Little Day

I’m enjoying this great little book, Unwritten Travels, written by my friend Jenny Black. One of the exercises in the book is to describe how you would spend an ENTIRE DAY if you could do whatever you wanted? Here’s mine: On a beach… in the fall Sun is out, but temp is moderate Walking, reading, […]
