2 weeks, Alice! Is this the first time? I know you'll miss her and I know it's a lot to get her to out the door, but 2 weeks! I am excited for you!!!! I would have traded my kingdom for a place to have my kids go for 2 weeks at that age!!!
ReplyDeleteI keep blinders on when I look at my yard too -absolute shambles is the phrase. But you went out there! But I can’t go near it for fear of poison ivy, Peter sanded moldings this weekend...last tuition bill just came, no extras unrelated to moving back into that dang MBR. So yard, what yard?
