Fabulous Fourth

America celebrated her 247th birthday this week. It was a busy and wonderful weekend for us, as we had an out of town visit from my brother. He and Stacey drove up from Ohio on Sunday.

It "feels like" there was a bit more negatives, though, hence the "funk" I was in this morning. I am hoping that … Continue reading Get the “funk” out! →
