Personal Photo Project of the Week #37
Cheaper than Therapy I co-hosted a Baby Shower for Baby G. with Sara a couple months back. Sara wanted a photobooth for the shower, so I made a makeshift one in her garage.

RWPE #38 – Face
Looks like Shannon and Angie did find RWPE addictive. They submitted again for last week’s theme FACE. However, submissions were kind of light this week.

Happy Birthday Mom!
Happy Birthday to my Mom! If my goal is to be as cool as my Mom when I get to her age, I have my work cut out for me.
Slice of Life Vol. 16

CLU’s Holiday
Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894 after a number of Americans were murdered by the military during the Pullman Strike.
