I have had one of those days that just makes me want to break some things. I had a friend tell me about a business her friend opened where you can just break stuff. I legitimately have been pondering that for many years. Today, I wish I lived near that girls business. I would go …
Finding Montana
As a kid, I grew up hearing stories of my great aunt, Tan. That’s short for Montana. Aunt Tan was my grandmothers sister. She was a twin and tough as nails. For years, Mama and uncle Milford had looked tirelessly to find where she was buried. Through the years, the memories were fuzzy and they’d …
