| Dec 14, 2009 | Reply

Christine Beatty’s first idea for her column this month was a lighthearted take on New Year’s resolutions. She had it all planned out but something else came up at the last minute.

Donna and Deb — A Couple in a Million

They walked in the room and looked around. More than a few sets of eyes looked back at them. My first impression was that they were sisters. Or they could have been two girlfriends who liked to dress in similar styles. Both were tall, slim and athletic-looking women. They were probably in their mid forties […]
