My Week in Pictures

Waking Up to Snow Last week I wrote about buying my first pair of open toes in years.  I even showed you a picture. This seemed to activate some pretty severe weather the following day as Monday morning we had heavy snowfall for several hours. As the day wore on I honestly wondered if I’d be … More My Week in Pictures
