Geez, it's been a whole month since I wrote anything here! But first, some season's greetings. I have been busy writing, though - a new weekly food & recipe column for Mexico News Daily, a popular online publication, is keeping me busy. My columns and other Feature stories are in the Life section, and I …
Our First Book Talk!
"Once upon a time we moved to Mexico…" Book contributors Dianne Hofner Saphiere, Susie Morgan, Lisa Lankins & Nancy Seeley.
