Mornin’ All,
Happy Friday, Happy (almost) Weekend, and Happy End of the Week!😃
Is it Spring? Is it Winter? How about..Sprinter?! With a little touch of Spring. And a little splinter of Winter. Add a splash of rain. And a smattering of snow. It’s what we have to bear living where? Milwaukee! Don’t like the weather? Give it ten minutes and, who knows, it might get better! In spite of the weather, and us being smack in the middle of the semester, we’re right now feeling better…cuz its Friday and weekend is near!
