We had some family over and somehow it became a thing that we wore a cloth bag over our heads… Little did we know, we would need face masks just a few months later… OK, just kidding, we were playing a game. They brought over a bag of Skittles. The test was to see if … Continue reading “January – 2020”
We got a new cat and we named him Brawndo. If you’re wondering about the name, it came from my favorite movie, Idiocracy. Brawndo is a pure bred Maine Coon. We were picking him up from a breeder just west of Kansas City. We drove through an ice storm the night before to ensure that … Continue reading “Brawndo – 1/17/2020”
