Arbor Day Party

Hey, as I stated in an earlier post, uh I think the last one actually, I’ve decided on not opening on April twenty-second or any time real soon, ’cause after all like Connie said, I’s the boss.

My father claimed primarily Scotch-Irish decent and, until his third child was born, was Presbyterian in faith.
