Once we dreamed so wide!

Life demands we pay the rent.

Buried at our desks.


This was inspired by the song Days and Days by Concrete Blonde. When my daughters were little, we would pretend we were living in a soap opera which we called Days and Days Gone By, and my younger daughter played a character named Stephanie who was obsessed with her Filofax.
