Carrie Underwood Gets Married Just Down the Road!
I watched her grow as an artist and win it all on American Idol. She’s made the country music world her oyster, and deservedly so.

Walmart isn’t the only one who’s doing rollbacks! You can get one at the Waldorf-Astoria–that is, if you happen to be Edith and Robert Scalise. Married 60 years ago, the Long Island lovebirds celebrated their first night as husband and wife in this 5-star hotel. So, it was high time they did it again.

For the guys, how about this innovative flask. I was so impressed with the clever design, I just had to share it with you.
