Disclaimer for this week is I'm pooped and I may have made a mistake somewhere in this email, so please double check what I've typed with the links provided. Since Bella Rustina starts on Friday, we started setting up today inside the climate-controlled Conway Expo...
Today I got to do something different and incredibly cool - I did a video conference with KATV Channel 7 to talk about the July 10-12 Bella Rustina in Conway. It was pre-recorded at noon and then aired at 3PM during Good Afternoon Arkansas. I really enjoyed being able...
"Dad, I love you 10x more than turtles" Little Caleb cracks me up. I've been up to my eyeballs getting ready for the July 10-12 Bella Rustina, so Big Caleb's Father's Day gift was wrapped in brown paper. I thought it would be fun for Little Caleb to write on the paper...
