Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest…
In unpacking boxes that we have had stored for the last 4 1/2 years, I came across my slow cooker, so this morning Mark and I got up and put the makings for a pot roast in it. Then we went to his church. When we came home, the house smelled wonderful! Continue reading
Mark’s business
Mark worked six days this week, his first week of having his own business. I haven’t focused much on how that’s been going for him, so I’ll give him a little press tonight.
