Wendy Skorupski had an international upbringing in Cyprus and Vienna and graduated from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire in England.

To Thanksgiving Past, Present and Future

Forget the turkey. (Poor thing – but that’s another theme altogether.) Forget the presents. Forget the dressing-up, the pomp, the nicely-laid table, and all the stress and expense leading up to this special day. There’s only one thing that really counts, and I’m sure everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving knows what it is. Yes, of course. […]
