September 3, 2013 at 7:43 amSpent a wonderful 5 day weekend with my daughter and son in law at Camp Pendleton (they just were transferred 8/15). We landscaped the front yard, planting Aloe, lobelia, dianthus & marigolds. Evenings where spent hanging picture frames, putting up shelves and spending quality time together. And on top of already great weekend, my 11 month old grand daughter doesn’t want to be away from me. Love your book Lauren. We have 2 downloads, but it would be a nice house warming gift for my daughter!!
