Campground Life
Susan Perrine and Garden Day Preparations
I’ve been thinking about this post for several days now…and the titles have been written and erased 100 times: “It rains and we’re mud-covered”, “Playing in the Mud”, “Why didn’t I become a doctor?”, and my current favorite…”I’ve used up all my smiles today…try me tomorrow.” BUT I am more mature, smarter, savvy, optimistic than…
