We went to our first ever Pride event last night (a drag show). It was so much fun! We're looking forward to going again next year, too. The place was full, and I had to ask a group if we could sit at their table; they said yes and spent the evening talking to us … Continue reading Pride!

Bird treats
Gramma Izzie always fed "her birds" (wild birds), and I started doing it after she died. I'm still doing it.
