April Russo to April's feed, Bless This Mess, Lovefest
There is something to be said about deep cleaning and dejunking. Sometimes you find something that's a true treasure that makes you smile. Found a tiny notebook that I must have been carrying around in my purse about 15 years ago. Inside was this list of things I remember from my childhood, about my grandmother.
