It is 1:48 PM. We just got back from the park where I had an idea for a post. I was pushing my boys on the kid swing and bigger kids (red) swing at the same time. We hadn’t been there for more than three minutes when a little girl came up and I could…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 11.5.2017 Afternoon
