The book is done, at least the rough draft is, and on Harley’s birthday, too! I have pictures for you, of Harley’s birthday, not the book, but you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for those. I actually finished at 12:02 this morning, so Harley’s birthday is technically over, but who…
Today was a dog day, especially for Harley. We went outside this morning and played with all three dogs. Maverick chased his flying squirrel frisbee while Dad and I played with the new parachute toy I bought at Franklin’s yesterday. (Franklin’s is a restaurant/store near work that has some of…
