Yesterday our squad spent time together shooting clay – tons of fun and a gorgeous day. This morning I sent the boys out the door and hunkered down on the couch for awhile to watch some food network. I decided to hit the kitchen just as a text came in from Hubby – he and […]
Everything Else
Sometimes, you just don’t know how to categorize a blog post. I can’t create a category for a single post…I guess I could but it makes a mess out of your blog, so I just stick them here. It’s kinda like the junk drawer of the blog! Every kitchen has a junk drawer!
