Two Weeks

It’s been about two weeks since I have last posted and I would like to extend an apology. One of those weeks was because I was at the lake house and I would completely forget the limited time that I had wifi. I always remembered right after but that was obviously no help. And the second week was just because I completely forgot. So let’s just post general highlights!
