    Very different weather celebrating turning 41 this year. Last year YHC got to Q in the snow which I would take over this anytime.

    Thanks Rosie for making the trip and help YHC celebrate with a birthday Q. Rosie and I enjoy catching up a little while the rest of the PAX arrived on “DaVille Time”

    The bus loop was a challenge today while we saw up to 10 cars come through dropping off MS boys for some sport. We notice the dad’s in the car didn’t seem very interested in what we were doing

    All fun enjoying the 2nd F at the Local where Yard Sale joined us as well
