Eight months after hurricane Maria, it seems like we can't go one full week without having a blackout.

We spent months without power, now after life seems to be … Continue reading ANOTHER blackout this week

Mail was already being delivered but when they still hadn’t received any packages I thought they had been … Continue reading One step at a time
So look at what I found today: I think it was just sitting around in that Hobby Lobby waiting for me to find it and of course I had to have it.
