Day 6: Game Donation
Do you like to play games? Do you have a favorite board game? Connect Four, Monopoly, and Battleship have been a few of my favorites since childhood.

Leaves fall creating a layered palette in the yard. This palette, although pretty, is what I dislike most about the fall. I… Continue reading Raking Leaves To Help A Neighbor
Community Collaboration and a Baby Shower
