After two trips with ToD and one with copperscale‘s husband and son in their van, we’ve got almost all of the things marked out packed and gone to the castle. A few boxes are here, because I packed them after…
Dear Gods, Is It That Late?
It is indicative of my (lack of) brain function today that I nearly typed “dogs” there in the subject line. I had a migraine this morning, pushed it back, and am fighting it again now. The kids are off swimming,…
Online Window Shopping
