Bigly Good
This morning Mrs Detrecto had to go out and run some errands. This meant that mini Detrecto and myself were left trying to navigate some home schooling and home working. Mini Detrecto is a beautiful child. She is funny and clever and has a unquenchable appetite for questions that I don’t know the answer to….
Lockdowns & Meltdowns

No New Messages
