We took a little family vacation this summer! This is amazing in so many ways. Not only because we haven’t ever been on a real vacation away in our 21 years of marriage but the sights we got to go see…were truly an unforgettable experience. If you haven’t recognized it yet this is Wizard IslandContinue reading “Unfathomable”

This moment brought to you by a little tree by the road. Such a lovely sight. The Hawthorne flower in the sunlight.
