Sort of Fishing

On Saturday we went to a lake to go fishing with our friends, the Carriers. We took two inflatable boats, on for each family, so that we could all go out together. As the men were pumping the first one up, they heard a hiss. “Don’t worry, I have a patch kit, ” Jonathan says. [...]

Sophie the Sample Lady

Shad and I were nesting and in the rubble of what used to be on our bathroom shelves, Sophie found this shower cap. She wore it around and then announced that she was the sample lady at Costco. We spent the next hour sampling apple juice and grape Capri Sun out of shot classes. She’s [...]
