I attended my sons graduation ceremony last night (from 8th grade – I’m not THAT old!). It was a proud moment for everyone. Today, his class is going to Great America to celebrate their last day of Middle School. It was SO hot in that gymnasium. I swear it was well over 100 degrees in […]
Chris is an odd guy. I love him to pieces – my whole heart is devoted to that man…He just marches to the beat of a different drummer, ya know? Recently, he drove a truck home from NYC where he picked up some of his stuff at his mom’s house. She was closing her Canal
