My husband surprised me this past weekend with a weekend getaway. He had planned to leave Friday night, but the weather was not really pleasant. So he decided that we would leave Saturday morning and stay overnight one night instead of two.
Our first stop Saturday was at the Christmas Tree Shop in Warwick, RI. This [...]

The reason: Rape. Out of control teenagers. Lack of support.
What’s lost: Friends. [...]
