My days right now, look nothing like I thought they might when I was growing up. My days are full, yet I often feel like I don’t get much accomplished. Raising 4 kids while pregnant is hard. Don’t get me wrong, I love my kids to pieces, but it’s hard work. So, in an effortContinue reading “A Day in the Life”

Friendship

It was a place with cabins to rent and they wereContinue reading “The Fish House and AM Radio”
