Olympics Day One and Two

Categories: Olympics

I’m dividing up our commentary based on the time zone I’m in because it’s my blog and that makes the most sense to me.

Because why not. She LOVED the idea and was so excited. She started counting down till Groundhog Day. Nobody has ever looked forward to Groundhog Day more than she did this year. Keep reading
