Alrighty, guys, don’t be upset with me. I know it’s been a long minute since I was up here making posts. It’s that time of year. I’ve always said May and October are the busiest months of the year: May for the garden, farmers' markets, and other garden stuff, and October for festivals, holiday stuff, and school events. It’s like that last little run before Winter comes. I can hardly believe that we are almost to the end of May now I was supposed to get this out two days ago and I totally forgot. I know I should be ashamed laugh out loud, but it is what it is so here we are today shouting out to Kim for a happy birthday whoop whoop. We love you, Kim!
I have said many times over Kim is the travel agent and the trip planner. If you need to go on a trip, ask KIM! In this picture, it is Clarissa and Kim. MSC Cruise.
They love a fire pit a lot of planning and happenings are set in motion around the fire pit.
Kim, Clarissa, Pumpkin and Levi.
