A Look at the Every Day
We spent part of our Father’s Day over at the coast and while it wasn’t intended as such, it gave me a good chance to refocus and clear my brain. Dave loves the beach so I wanted to make a point of going on “his” day. We packed a picnic, blankets…
In honor of this social “holiday” known as #ThrowbackThursday, I have gone back through the blog archives for a look at where I was at roughly the same time during years’ past. So much has changed (namely, my hair) but some has stayed the same, as it does. Join me on this fun journey back…
