Slices of Life

Since the last Saturday of the month is tomorrow it's just about time for Share 4 Somethings with Jenn. As always we're sharing some things we loved, some things we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of .  Some things I've loved:  I LOVED our trip to Maine!

If all 5 of us are going on vacation we rent an airB&B/VRBO so we have a washer and dryer and just wash as we go.  3.
