So, my family and I tried something different this past week. Different for us, at least. We have been living at our campground for 10 days now.

Aunt Sharon

Why I Cry All The Time
I cry all the time. I know that my dry, sarcastic personality makes that hard to believe – but it’s true. I am, in fact, one giant blubbering bitch. And what’s more – I ugly cry.
