a little Friday fun to share with you

Excerpt from a phone call I received today: Kate: Hello? Nannie: Kate, this is your mother.  Kate, how do you spell your daughter’s name?

Gracie started shrieking for fun five days ago and I’ve not yet found an effective way to curb this behavior. Gracie will go on her first flight in exactly one day and I am terrified.  This is [...]
