#ThursdayDoors — We Went to Lyons

Posted on August 4, 2016 by joey

You’re probably reading this while my parents are here. I said they could come over at a reasonable hour, like 9am. I don’t think they classify 9am as morning, but I do. *yawns* I’ve been clever, and prepared 98% of … Continue reading →
