Costco Life
As the one who does all the cooking in the household, I also do all the shopping. It’s been a challenge this year, especially with inflation as high as 8.5%. That’s why I’m grateful for Costco and buying everything I …

This is Yogurtland in Chatsworth on Nordhoff near DeSoto. Kris is getting more mobile, so we went there for frozen yogurt yesterday. It is one of Kris’s favorite hangouts. She loves to go there during the week, get some yogurt, …
