Cow Conversations and Cozy Corners

As Amy dubs her space “the coo corner,” talk turns to various types of cozy corners at home, prompting light-hearted humor about wishing one could own a live highland cow.
Heartburn and Old People Talk
From decor to digestions, the conversation turns. Amy shares her struggles with certain foods causing heartburn, an ailment many of us might resonate with. Megan humorously adds her woes about red pasta sauces and pizzas being culprits, echoing the surprising turn in conversations that come with age.
