Let it snow!

I’ve got milk, toilet paper, bread, eggs, coffee and pancake mix.  I can survive!  So bring it on.  It will give me more time to file my taxes (blech!), clean my house (double blech!) read a book, watch a movie or work on my Etsy shoppe!  I might even go out shooting.  If the roads...

U2 360 Concert | Charlottesville, Virginia

I’m sure we’ll laugh when we think back to the most expensive concert we ever took our children too. Still stings just a bit at the moment. We originally bought 5 tickets to the U2/Muse show. Thinking that we could sell a couple and hopefully cover the cost of our tickets. ...
