Week in the Life: Thursday

by melissa on July 15, 2010

Oh, Thursday! You are just like Tuesday… but closer to Friday so better. As I’m going through the day, I wonder “what would I have liked to see from my mother’s or grandmother’s typical day when she was my age?” I mean really, wouldn’t that be fascinating?
