Yeah, Arwyn is less than thrilled, but she’s already getting into the groove of it even if she’d rather be making summer vacation a twelve month experience. Trust me, kiddo, we’d all love to live in a state of permanent[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
What?! Arwyn’s impatient?! Shocker, right? Can she read? Absolutely, and quite well. Does she want to read? If she’s in the mood, but if she wants to play with the finished thing, then going through the whole building process and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
