A Royal Birthday

8:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Tuesday Friends!! I hope everyone is well!! The card I have to share with you today looks like spring...opposite of this past week with the snow and the COOL temperatures!! I have never experienced snow in Virginia until this past week while on the road, quite a ways away from home. Being from NY, I am used to snow and driving in it....I learned one thing about Virginia...they don't know how to clear the roads here....I thank God for being with Scott and I on that long journey home!!
