Three’s company
As a parent, you find that some little girls play well together. And some… well, not so much.

Making biscuits
We were going to make biscuits and gravy yesterday, but I came down with the flu. Since I’m feeling a little better today – by that I mean I felt that I could have more than Jello and 7-Up – we made them tonight.
