Just a Couple Updates Sunday
February 23, 2020 • CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
A couple updates for Sunday. We’ve had family in town this weekend, so things are busy around here.
One family member brought over these locally roasted beans, so we decided to create our own Yipao scene. We couldn’t have done it without the jeep, a gift from Jerry Huber last year, and the Colombian poncho, a gift years ago from Sebastian Lobo-Guerrero (8 years ago … I had a little less gray hair!).
Just having some fun.
