{The sun is finally bursting out in London Town and I'm dreaming of my trip in the summer...Guyana to see the Twin Brother, who has lived there since August, then the great US of A for a road trip with my beloved, visiting fun friends in beautiful rural areas as well as NYC. This summer will be smokin'!}

{Dear readers, I am not known for my sunglasses collection but I am known for my perma-furrow in my brow. Not this year folks! Although I lived for almost 4 years in the tropics and went without any kind of eye protection, 2012 is my year for frames that mean business. Seen any you like?}
