Melinda is sick again…
| September 2, 2010 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
….and has an appointment with the doctor at 2pm to day to confirm whether this IS or ISN’T whooping cough. Lovely eh?

Deb from the very-helpful-folks at Elk Grove Milling (elkgrovemilling.com) has once again shown me the benefits of dealing locally.
