Weekend Happenings
We had a jam packed weekend, fun but with ample relaxation time. Friday was the last day of school so we had a few people over for a front yard happy hour. It was a cold gloomy day, lucky for us Mother Nature showed us some some just in time. Happy hour turned into too…

{Check it Out} Daytime TV, Spring Beer, Food Trucks
Random reading, a few things that caught my eye this week… Soaps have been replaced with food on daytime TV! Check out the new shows, “The Chew” and “Revolution”.
