We don’t have big plans, and that’s just fine. I finished grooming at about 3 o’clock and felt too tired to go to town to bank, get mail, and shop. On the other hand, dinner is in the oven and smelling SO good! Tomorrow there are “Pioneer Days” events in our little town, and starting … Continue reading
