Friday Fun Link – Hilarious Booze Cruise Story

Not sure if I’ve ever posted this before but I’ve watched it numerous times. Always cracks me up by reminding me of some of the crazy stupid stories my friends and I tell each other about our own wild times in high school and college.

Gone Camping…

Likely no posts for most of the coming week as we’re going camping… …to the same campground where Shea was a bridesmaid in a beautiful wedding a couple summers ago!

Music Monday – “Unlock my body and move myself to dance/Moving warm liquid, flowing blowing glass”

Music Monday – “And the heart in my breast/For the girl I lov’d best/Was beating, ah, beating/How loud and fast!”
