Well, I’d say it was a pretty successful week—knocked off lots of fall bucket list items as well as car-related chores, which are some of my least favorite.

This is the cake I decorated for him, since he owns a construction company. I enjoyed decorating it way too much. Continue reading “Weekly Recap #39, 2022”
