I'm Trina, and I'm so glad you've stopped by. Here in this space we encourage each other to Nourish our Families, Celebrate the Beauty, and Choose to Thrive. See you in the comments.... 
Love that one of your goals is to be madly in love with your husband in your 90's.
I would also love a book/post on the art of hospitality. How you do it and how not to stress. You're great!
Love it Trina! Massage therapy license, huh? Hadn't heard about that… Know that you and Jeremy are already blessing others with your “massive hospitality”.
Happy/safe travels home!
Suzanne, thanks for your feedback. I do have plans to delve into the subject of hospitality more on the blog in the near future!
Erin, to give a good massage has been a life-long dream and I believe it's nearly time to pursue that dream. Oh, people like you are what make hospitality so much fun!
Kateri –
Random? Maybe. But a lot of fun to read!
My family and I do a lot of hospitality too – it's not easy, but it's so rewarding!
I’ve been reading your posts on the Allume blog, and I finally stopped over here today. I’m from Rochester, and was surprised and happy to learn that you’re from the Finger Lakes Region! Very Cool!
So excited to start exploring your blog!
