Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures: Easter Sunday! This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes, on the website, and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you don’t miss any of our adventures.
Hey Friends,
We are just beginning your New England adventure. Today, I’m writing this in advance so we can soak up every minute of our trip. I know it will be wonderful, and I can’t wait to share all the details with you when we get home.
But many of you only get the Sunday Dirt Road Adventures recap, and I didn’t want you to miss out on anything from last week.
Next week’s issue will be even less than this one as we will still be on our trip. However, I have so many great posts planned for you and I’ll still send you the recap.
Y’all, have the best week, and I look forward to sharing more about our trip with you soon.
