Inspired by Slice of Lisa’s 3 Things post structure from last year, I am going to write 5 Things lists on each of the days with 5 in them. Today I’m going to start with: 5 Things You Need to Know About Me.
4 SOL 26: Her Crowning Glory
She was born with a thick head of dark hair. It only got lighter and thicker from there. She never had that time when it fell out like happens with a lot of babies. She never even really had that “baby” kind of hair. You know what I mean? This wispy flyaway pieces. It’s always been like a big kid hair.

Our public library is pretty awesome. I mean—I haven’t been to any library that wasn’t amazing, but ours is especially great. The only thing that would make it better would be to mediate the parking situation.

It’s been a long while since I checked in with my fellow slicers. Every year I say I’m going to keep up with Tuesday slicing.

SOL25: 31 ABCs
Another year written.

Family days are the best days. After packing up we started the drive to the resort. I only heard, are we there yet one time. We were exactly 3 minutes from Great Grandpa’s house filling up the fast tank.

We take the kids on a little getaway once or twice a year. It’s just to a little resort with indoor and outdoor pools. There’s tennis and a basketball court. They used to have mini golf back in the day.
