As part of my new job as Regent Place Branch Head, I now work a few evenings and weekend shifts each month which means at least once a month my “weekend” is on Monday and Tuesday. This can be a big advantage sometimes when Pace is in school and I can get to appointments I […]

I don’t post a lot of pictures of food on my blog but I couldn’t let this one go by.
