Welcome, welcome, to all my new subscribers! I'm not sure what happened, but all of a sudden I've been flooded with new readers, which is great! We'll be getting a new family photo made soon and I'll share it then along with a more detailed introduction. Until then,...
This week I'm in a hurry to get some shut-eye because I'm going on an adventure tomorrow morning to purchase some things for the September 9-11 Bella Rustina. I'll tell you about it next week after I've done it so y'all don't think I'm crazy for a week. 🙂 I finally...
In the morning will be the first day of 2nd grade for Little Caleb. I saw a Facebook ad for Wonders of Wildlife in Springfield, Missouri early last week. It claims to be the best aquarium in the United States. Since Little Caleb has been infatuated with fish and...
