    once upon a time…


    Once upon a time a kind queen who loved to wear shorts in warm weather took her two little princesses to a special Halloween festival called Trick or Trunk in the magic land of Westover Acres. All the villagers came together to celebrate by decorating their carriages to welcome the many children who lived in the kingdom.

    oh my, what treasures must be hidden behind the colorful carriage streamers!

    decisions, decisions – so many yummy choices from Bonnie and Clyde

    last stop: corn dogs and chips marked the festival exit

    When I think about the futures of Ella and Molly, my wish for them is they will grow up in a country where they are free to make discoveries of who they are and what they believe with kindness toward others, with love in their hearts, with joy in their souls.
