In just over a week’s time, I’ll be travelling with my husband and 2 of my 3 children to the beach, actually to Hilton Head at the southernmost tip of SC. I can’t wait. Certainly it’s the idea of a holiday, of being with family, uninterrupted by work, of eating too much SC shrimp and
I was reading in the weekend paper about several children’s books that had been translated into Latin.
