Summers at the farm, my 11 year old, and social media
When I was about 11, my Mom and Stepdad asked me if I wanted to spend the summer at my Gramma's farm.

Time, oh give me time...
I really wanted to sit down and write a useful post. You know - one that includes actual information and updates on what I've been doing and what's ahead in the near future.
