Because it’s fun . . .
…to tie dye t-shirts for the bookmobile craft. …to clean the kitchen dressed as a fifties housewife. This girl is such a hoot! I came in from working outside to find her dressed like this. “What, Mom? It’s more fun to clean this way!” …to ride in the loader with dad while he hauls hay. […]
Summer Cottage in Babylon: Music Edition

Wordfull Wednesday: Work
“Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work we go…” For some, work is a drudgery, something that has to be done, plowed through at the quickest rate possible so one can get to the fun. Others view work to the extreme never taking a break to rest or relax, viewing fun as a waste […]
