I will not have my weekly column for the next two weeks as I’m taking the time to prepare for—and enjoy—my son’s wedding coming up on Saturday, June 20.
I’m pleased to say my son, Travis, daughter-in-law, Sara, and granddaughter, McKinnley, arrive on Saturday.
So it will be a busy, hectic time in all of our lives, but one we all are looking forward to.
One of those blessings that make being a mother worth the effort.
