I haven’t done one of these in ages. Seems like a good time to get back in the habit. Since it’s been so long, I’m going to include a bit from the last of June, too. Celebrations July, for our family, always begins with our daughter’s birthday. Isn’t she gorgeous? We celebrated the 4th of…
A trip to Idaho
