Another weekend is almost in the books. And it’s June 1 tomorrow. Whaaaaat? Do you know what this means?

Sunday Night Miscellany.

How was your weekend? The last five days for us have been so much fun! And amazingly, even the weather took a turn for the better and today, we managed to make it over 70 degrees and it felt pretty incredible.
