Hi Neighbor!
Last weekend we shook things up and headed into Phoenixville for a little night out. Totally different for us. Stick with me.
A friend recently told me she’s signed up for an improv class this fall. Improv! I was impressed. That is wayyy outside my comfort zone. Meanwhile, I’m over here gearing up for mahjong, brushing up on bridge, and plotting my next hobby - knitting needles, here I come. September is my personal “back to school” month—I always try to embark on something new. READ MORE
Enjoy,
Regina
This week I'm 👀 Watching: Citizen journalist dives headfirst into Tulsa’s hidden truths. 🎧 Listening To: Just saw this band again on Saturday. Always obsessed! And 🧶 Learning: Knit one purl two.
