Family Time and Changes Galore | Weekly Snapshot

Posted on
There has been so much going on over here and so much changing soon. I wish I could say I was reading a lot, but it's feeling like a luxury at the moment.

It had been months since we enjoyed anyone's close companionship for that long so we all enjoyed the time together. We were very sad to say our goodbyes.

~ Pg. 31, White Oleander by Janet Fitch.
