Life in the Boomer Lane has been, for the last couple years, obsessed with a TV series that, to her, is unique. The series is Schitt’s Creek, on POP TV (shoutout to all Canandians) and now streaming on Netflix. She has a ticket to see the cast live this month and so she has been […]
What’s in A Name?
September 26, 2018
Names of anything in our world are useful to different degrees during different times of our lives.
