Evenin’ folks! For a day that started out as a 1, it sure pulled through and ended up being a perfect 10! Actually, I take that back. As I was driving home I decided the clear blue skies and dazzling sunshine deserved a 10, but downgraded the d (read full article)
It’s a beautiful morning here in central Iowa, so I decided to head out into the sunsetRISE for a 4.25 mile run after my Mom walk! Plus, there’s no time like the present to break in a new pedicure. The morning air was humid, but cool, a (read full article)
