This spare tire cover went missing from my van sometime today at the Big River Steampunk Festival. It was parked in the bank lot and if anyone finds it, please return it to the Information booth and no questions will be asked.

While we were in route to Gettysburg, this little bundle of joy came into our lives. I am honored to introduce to you our first granddaughter, and first baby of Erik and Sara Buchner-Olson, Elaina Mae Olson. 💖💖💖 After we got home yesterday, we finally were able to meet her.
