What a fabulous weekend, visiting with my friend Shannon. I’m headed back to my home, my family, and reality today!

Guess what?! I’m in Texas to visit my sweet friend, Shannon, for her birthday. We’ve been planning this trip for a while but…..she didn’t realize that I was in cahoots with a few of her Texas friends to arrive a day earlier than she expected and be a part of throwing her a surprise 40th [...]
