HELP!!! My Husband’s Other Woman is a Three-Legged Cyclops!

Guest post by Lanchi Vo The problem is that they’ve been together for a very long time, long before he married me. So, I am not sure who has the “Right of Way” here. Their relationship is a perfect one. They truly click. She has an eye only for him. She is dependable, patient, quiet […]

What I did on National Park Service Centennial Day

Last week, on August 25, the day of the National Park Service Centennial, I posted the announcement for Treasured Lands on the blog in the morning.

Year 2013 in review and parks night favorites
