Would you Just Hush and Listen!

If I had a dollar for every time I have heard or said that phrase, I could take you all out for dinner! I grew up to my father saying those very words. A LOT! If you haven’t figured it out yet, I am a talker. I have having the pleasure of helping raise my little granddaughter Kenlee. We keep her every day.
