No More Blueberries
Getting ready for bed Noah wanted to have blueberries for a snack. He had already eaten them a couple times during the day and can go through quite a few.

It’s a single two way street with a middle left turning lane. Caile suggested she wished we could just drive up the middle and pass everyone. I askedContinue reading “Striking Out with the Jokes”
