I am particularly excited because the Rutherford’s will be staying on at our house for the entire weekend. I was best friends with Charlene Rutherford when they lived […]
I need to make some phone calls, the laundry is piling up, and the car is due for an oil change. But those will have to wait–I’m busy reading blogs.
