JUST like getting this bread, he is Risen. It was just a full Pink moon and Easter Sunday is this week. Hopefully the false springs are over and we can all put our winter clothes away until sometime in November. The fresh crisp breath of renewal and hope is in the air, as long as you turn off the news and go touch grass for a while.
If you’d like your event featured here please email Lilamillermedia@gmail.com. Have a good week y’all!
