Fun Surprises

Surprise! Bill popped in to his office this morning before his shift at the Covid clinic.  Baby Yoda is doing well and was up for a fun little game of peekaboo. The little leaves are doing a fine job hiding his face. While Bill was gone, I tackled some languishing projects.  I sewed a bit, […]

Finally!

We were all counting down the days to celebrate Sophia’s fifth birthday. She was quite the birthday girl, bringing treats to school and contributing a very special book to the library.
