I woke up to these lovelies this morning…
I usually kill flowers (hence why my house is full of fake flowers. Seriously. It’s okay to judge me. I’ve lived with this situation for a while now.)

Happy Hot Tuesday! We had a fun weekend hanging out with our grandson…it was HOT…so we cooled down the tub and made it into a swimming pool. Here’s our race car driver crashing into his Pops.
Meanwhile in other HOT things – there’s a SALE happening at the Susan May Warren Fiction Store!
Happy Friday!
