Sterling turned eight years old today. It is hard to believe and strange all at the same time. My dear boy is growing up. We got him a wood burner. A handheld tool to burn a pattern into wood, he had a fabulous time with it all afternoon. I’ll try to get a photo of […]
Redneck practices, old age, road kill supper, and one stupid move.
Low point of yesterday: preheating my flat iron for 9 1/2 hours, then laying my brand new glasses on them when I went to bed. The smell of burning plastic several minutes later jogged my memory.
