Judy's HouseSince Judy is one of those people who make the best of everyday, living by her own philosophy, I had to have Steve Tyrel serenade this post singing Give Me The Simple Life.

Friendship is one of the best gifts that life has to offer. Judy's home does look deliciously cozy and what a great view through those windows. It must've been wonderful to get away. Next time, you'll be the hostess!
