The More the Merrier 6/8/2025

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt There have been balloons hanging in my house for almost a week now. There are cupcakes in my fridge that have been there nearly as long, and a large, themed “Happy Birthday” banner draped across my fireplace. It is framed by the aforementioned balloons.

Fun, Frolic and Fear 6/9/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt It has been quite the week in these parts.  The goings on have been significant and I’d have to say they probably also fall a bit on the unique side.  We’ve had things happen that had been long planned and then there were other bits that popped up and nobody sawContinue reading “Fun, Frolic and Fear 6/9/2024”
