Sunday Salon---A Year of Favorites


Tomorrow is 2018. Today is a chance for me to look back at few favorites from 2017.

10. Favorite blooper.
Reporter interrupted by his children. The reporter is talking about serious stuff like North Korea and then his children interrupt him. I laugh and laugh every time I see it.

Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Joe-Joe's from Trader Joe's. I've only had two of them but I am certain that I could easily get addicted.  Luckily they are only available during the holidays.

Outlander, we will finish season 3 tonight
