Good Morning, I’m Back Once Again

It's been a long time, but today I resurrected this blog. It's been sitting here all lonely for a couple years while I concentrated on my main blog.

My Love Hate Relationship with Bubbles

Bubbles! Who doesn't shout the name when they suddenly see those soapy globes floating by? Chasing bubbles is (or should be) a part of every childhood.
