Shofar… sho good.

Hey gang, the Men’s Retreat is coming up, and I have the distinct pleasure of being a scribe and organizational part of the Men’s Retreat again. Without giving away all of the neato chest-beating manly surprises, I will say that part of our covert operations has to do with finding a ’shofar’.

Where to Start

Now that I am officially no longer working outside of the home, I have a lot of catch up to do around the house and a lot of retraining of the kids to do.  I am going to go back to following the flylady on doing my housework.  I used to fly regularly years ago, [...]
