I’m just now writing about Fat Tuesday and things have already moved on to Ash Wednesday. :-) We had a surprise orchestra concert last night (surprise being that John forgot to ever mention it and I heard from a friend’s mom when I went to arrange lacrosse carpool…) that threw a bit of a kink… Read More
