A Practical Walk

I guess my first post on here should be how I chose the name. First of all, I wanted it to be broad enough to encompass whatever whim I wanted to write about. Many years ago I had a blog called Purposely Frugal and I mostly blogged about…you guessed it…frugality! But if I wanted to…
