“The Asparagus Incident”
Getting his face painted at the very first Farmer’s Market Last weekend the town next to ours held their first Farmer’s Market of the summer. I was giddy with excitement. I planned an outing with some friends and off we went. I purchased strawberries and raspberries first. Charlie was insistent that he eat some right [...]
“Just pack!” and other ridiculous notions

Lunch Wrap Up: Week of Nov 7th
