Yesterday we took a trip to the Melody Ranch Cowboy Festival here in Santa Clarita. It was our first year attending, most definitely not our last. The day was fairly warm, (90’s), and a bit breezy, but altogether it was a really awesome experience. Having lived in the San Fernando Valley for a long time [...]

Cat
Nothing inspiring going on. I just happened to walk in on some heavy duty napping. This is hour 11 out of 22 hours of nap time for the day.
I don’t see you:

Board
Spring break is officially over. Jem is back in school, (Thank God). Shawn is out of town, (he’s finally coming home tomorrow). Scout is taking a nap, (much needed).

May the bead be with you
Cause I seem to keep losing mine. My beads. Not my marbles. Though some might disagree.
