Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
It's been a long, fun-filled last two weeks. Rob & I just got home on Tuesday, and after three days back at work I'm back to this lovely corner of the internet I call home. We roadtripped to Montana to meet with my family in Great Falls, traveled to Havre for my uncle's wedding, then… Continue reading Lemon Basil Pasta Salad
Boy howdy, it's been a busy week. Since I work overnights, I'm the gatekeeper between breaking news and what our crews cover for the morning news.
