I'm so sorry. It's so hard when they won't do what they need to do to heal. I hope you can get something figured out.

I don't think anyone should be taking advice about letting a foot injury heal from Tupac. 🤔

Beautiful pictures! Totality was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

We did! It was on our wedding anniversary and hubs thought I was nuts when I said we were going to NE to get into the path of totality. We stayed in Omaha. Got up early to check the weather and drove out of the clouds and rain into perfect blue skies. Amazing!

A full solar eclipse in the diamond ring stage. You can see a ring around the moon and a bright flash where the sun is coming back out.

My hubs has an internal DJ. He wakes up every morning singing some random song. 😂

I have met the most amazing community of humans and critters! The #UglyDogs raise thousands of dollars for charity and to support each other every year.

PS - the dogs are not ugly.

We're a parade band. This is our off season. Practices start up again in May.

I'm not sure you could pull this off with 110 kids - many of whom are 7th and 8th graders. Their skill level might be...😳
