What to do with weeds…

So…here’s the thing.

I like gardening. Or rather, I like the IDEA of gardening. And when I say gardening, I actually mean flowers, not vegetables (although I like those too). I’m the person who dreams of having overflowing gardens.

Dreams.

In reality….well, let’s just say that when I tell Hubs I’m buying flowers,

I made promises…

It’s me again, Susie May. I know you’re disappointed because my VA’s newsletters were so fun to read! (She’s also an author, by the way. If you’re interested in her books, check them out at sewarrenfiction.com!)

It’s Sarah again, tuning in to give you the recap on Susie’s fabulous Spain adventure!

Days 1 and 2:

Susie and Andrew arrived in Barcelona. They tooled around the city in a Tuk Tuk, visiting places like the La Familia Sagrada, the Gothic quarter, and even the Olympic Village (very fitting for the week leading into the 2024 Olympics—which I’m probably too excited about).
