Planning a trip to Tuscany? Cancel those reservations and stay home. Just buy your Valentine the home with the blue-tiled roof on Turtle Creek for Valentine’s Day and you can live in a lush Italianate environment 24 hours a day, mere minutes from downtown Dallas.

By Candy Evans / February 3, 2014 /

I had to stop myself from making yet another one of the 20,000 editing mistakes one (I) makes when blogging 3000 to 5000 words per day.
