On Monday it was a holiday (Martin Luther King day) a…

We’re headed West!!

My husband and I are taking a somewhat spontaneous trip out West to pick up a camper and truck to store for a friend over the summer. This involves a one way flight from Omaha, Nebraska to Bozeman, Montana ($79!) What a deal!! And then we drive the whole outfit back home to Vermillion, South Dakota.

During the past couple of years that I have been a part of RedBubble it never ceases to …
