There is a Laotian woman selling egg rolls for $1 each to support her family. My kids polished off a bunch of her fresh, hot egg rolls — DELICIOUS!! — and I got a ton extra to freeze for future easy meals. Message me to connect you. Get your egg rolls!

Picked up new glasses and it’s like, Oh! This is what I’ve been missing out on? So nice to see the world in FOCUS. * Yes, that’s a Nikon. Loyal customer for 20 years. I’ve never kept up with the cool kids. This D7500 replaced the D100 I used from 2004-2017.

It’s back to the grindstone tomorrow, but first, some pretty sunsets! We caught lots of sunsets over winter break because the sun sets around 4:30 p.m.
