We are the first family of the share holders for Fat Blossom, as well as being good friend's of Jacob's mother so we were there to work. I use the term loosely because we also brought with us our 3 kids, all of whom are under the age of 6 and because due to scheduling conflicts we arrived at 5pm on Saturday night.

But we woke up with the sun on Sunday after an insanely torrential downpour which resulted in a near midnight dash from our tent in lightening to the house where we slept on the floor.

Oh and then I read about the Crusades, wow, pretty much blasted any shred of Christianity I was hanging onto for old times sake, right straight out of me...talk about peopl
