Shopping Trip

Uncategorized October 24, 2007 by laura.m.stoneburner@gmail.com

Doing my rounds at a grocery store this week, I saw the cutest little girl on her tiptoes next to the bulk candy.  She was quickly scooping large amounts of sweets into several bags.

I AM LAURA STONEBURNER

I’m a writer and photographer who loves old cars, big dogs and trying stuff for the first time. I believe everyone should have a bucket list because life isn’t about working, paying bills and having the latest and greatest. It’s about experiences. Achieving goals. People. Adventures. Travel.

I’ve never dyed my hair, broken a bone, or watched a Star Wars movie, and I don’t plan on doing any of these.
