I normally don’t tell people when I donate to kids, but since Trooper Jacobs posted it, I wanted to take this opportunity to encourage you to do something for the less fortunate in your community…especially kids

A big thank you to Leigh Baker owner of Elk Creek Cottage in Bell Co for being a sponsor for the Shop With A Trooper program! Your generous support will help make this holiday season a little brighter for local kids, ensuring they get a chance to experience a better Christmas this year. We truly appreciate your commitment to giving back to our community!

We’ve added another special piece to the walls. This beauty is handmade by my Dad and painted by my Mom ❤️ and we’re also hoping to see hummingbirds soon.
