A Profound Look Back at the Week: November 8-14

A Profound Look Back at the Week: July 26 – August 1

It’s that time of the year again when we do our regular trip north, to the Romanian seaside, to visit the in-laws who this year have a brand new addition to the grandkid count, even though he’s a cat.
