IHG Big Win that I Almost Didn’t Win

March 31, 2014 By Leana 6 Comments

August 26, 2013 By Leana Leave a Comment

It has been an interesting couple of days here, to say the least. Apparently  George (who also goes by Gimini Cricket), The blog reviewer extraordinaire and non-hater of women, did not approve of my “cousin-in-law rule” post.
