Here’s to hoping your week was one with more good days than bad — I know we’re all on a rollercoaster.
My toddler is finally (finally?) starting to show fatigue of being around us boring old parents all the time, and even Paw Patrol isn’t as much of a lure. I’m going to have to start getting creative, because it seems like work is ramping up.
We’re seeing more and more food trucks in our ‘hood each week, which is cool. A local winery even did pickup and purchase alongside a food truck last night. If you’re a local winery or brewery interested in doing this, give me a shout.
