Weekly Happenings: June 19th- 25, 2017

Once again I apologize for falling off the wagon as far as this blog is concerned. I SWEAR every child that is friends with my daughter has had a birthday party in the last three weeks( anyone that knows us can attest to this).On top of late nights at work for trainings/ continuing education credits, graduations and parties we have been overwhelmed. As I have mentioned before occasionally I drop the ball putting family or work first considering this is really a tertiary activity/ a hobby of mine. With this said I have had time to pick up on some new stuff happening in the area, "some oldies, but goodies" and of course our weekly happenings I have been touching on.
