Aaaaaaaaand We're Back!

Posted by Melissa McEwan at Tuesday, July 14, 2015
Welcome back, everyone! I had a lovely week away, and, while I get caught up on email and get my bearings again (by which I mean, naturally, review how many millions of Republicans joined the clown car in the last ten days), here are some pictures of my holiday to peruse, if you're curious about what I was getting up to! Back to regularly scheduled programming shortly!
