Fan Friday—Planning Weddings
I have to say, this is the first wedding I’ve planned mostly via texting. And I hate texting. I mean, it has its uses, such as when you need a quick, short response—and I don’t mean “k.” Like a yes-or-no question answer, or a time confirmation. Beyond that, just pick up the phone and call […]

Prep Monday���Down on the Farm
First, I want to give a shout-out to our new friend Ed, who had asked if he could leave his trailer at the farm in between a fishing weekend and helping us out with clean-up. Instead, he ended up camping out there for almost a week AND re-filled the dumpster! Not to mention that he […]

Remember those old TV commercials, This is your brain on drugs? My brain is more like scrambled instead of fried. I […]
