1. Where have you been today? Describe the places! I started my day off with a wonderful brunch over at my best friend’s house. Her house is very pretty and bright‚ especially the outside. Lights are attached all over the white surface‚ and they really catch your eye. I love the inside a lot though‚ it’s luxarious and fresh but not really as bright.
