Hubby surprised me at work. I think I will keep him.
I love fog.
Sometimes you have to buy a dozen for yourself for no reason. Love roses.
One of my sisters-in-law found this. My hubby in the middle with a niece and nephew. Guessing to be around 1974-1975. Handsome! All that hair! He still has it, but he keeps it cut short.
