It's been a hot and stormy week around here, and while I appreciate the storms for bringing some rain along, I don't appreciate the hail, tornado, or flooding they brought. I mean, we were dealing with drought and the wildfires that brought on just a couple of months ago, and now we're back to flooding. … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: June 19, 2022
