August answers: A movie from the 70s, St. Lucia, and tomatoes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To quote one of my favorite reads of the month, Just Another Love Song: “August is, in my mind, the strangest month of year.” Kerry WinfreyThose in Ohio know, we had a tornado and flooding. The whole month felt a bit like riding one of those precarious fair rides, not knowing what to expect next, glee or disaster.
