Twenty Things: Tlane

Twenty things you didn't know about Tricia, of Tlane.

1. I’ve traveled to or through 40 of the United States. My favorites were South Dakota, Washington, Georgia, Kansas, and Maine. Maryland is great and I love living here though!

5. My favorite season is fall.

6. Deep evergreen, robin’s egg blue, and rust orange are a few of my favorite colors.
