I'm grateful for the guest post from Faith Munsell of Fibre Tech Inc. She's preparing families for summer fun in the SUN, but because of the extra hard Winter we've had I'm thinking a lot of families are going to be heading OUT of the PNW in search of their own fun in the sun for Spring Break! Mr Teacher Karen would blame my DNA for not craving the sun like he does--and maybe there's something to it as all of my ancestors lived a long, long way from the equator.... In any event, fun in the … [Read more...]
