Why He Makes Me Laugh!
I wanted to write a little blog tonight about what I am thankful for. However, when we were walking back to our hotel in Redding, CA from Costco tonight with Ray holding a 1/2 gallon size jug of whiskey or bourbon or whatever it was, I had to laugh. At that very moment that I laughed out loud, I realized how much I really love my man and how so very thankful that he is my husband!He watches out for me.
