One of Joe’s preferred books these days is a book of nursery rhymes. He’ll bring it to me and say, “Baa, Baa?”, as he knows that the first rhyme in the book is “Baa Baa Black Sheep”. Another rhyme in there is “To Market, To Market”: To market, to market to buy a fat pig.… Read More To Market, To Market

It’s nice to have and can make things more convenient, but it’s not required. We’ll get a car eventually {walking to/from… Read More Bag Lady
