Today the kiddos and I explored the Mandeville Farmer’s Market at the Trailhead. It is about 70 plus degrees, the perfect day to explore. Tons of yummy food, local crafts, fresh fruits and vegetables, and music playing in the background. I bought some banana bread, chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin butter and fresh strawberries.

Why should anyone care so much about insurance beyond their own? I will give you a Greta style post, with points drawn from my …
Yesterday’s paper had a comprehensive list of summer camps for the rugmonsters. If this area is like any I have lived in before, I better hurry up & rake out some cashola for the little yippers. The good camps usually fill up quickly!
