Stopped In My Tracks

With lots to do today I was moving and running as soon as my feet hit the floor. I had no time to slow down and certainly no time to stop and read a text that stopped me in my tracks.

She had a blast and brought me back a grand opening t-shirt. Greg held true to his promise, though, to take me to Waco this weekend. Our friends, Tim and Karen, went with us and we had a blast! We started the day...
