    So, how was your day?

    I miss the random talk that everyone does on BYC....and this might get everyone a little more comfortable with other members. I'll start. It rained all day, again. It was so stormy that the Hubby didn't get to go deer hunting, poor thing. And the kids return to school tomorrow from their...
