Today, you turn twelve… The Day You Were Born: We named you Winona Frances… Winona means “first daughter” and Frances is after your father’s grandmother, Nanny Frances.

Special Days
Valentine’s Day: Borucki-Style
Instead of buying gifts for Valentine’s Day, we have made a tradition of making hand-made gifts for each other each year. This year, we’re making something together… a shadowbox craft featuring our “future cabin in the woods” and little trinkets representing things we love as a couple. We had a ball picking out cheesy goodies … (Read More)

Happy Thanksgiving!

We return thanks to all herbs, which furnish medicines for the cure of our diseases. We return thanks to the moon and stars, which … (Read More)
Who Shot Rock & Roll: Target First Saturday
