From the Front Porch
Happy Friday from the front porch! We’re excited to be part of your day.
As I shared in last week’s, From the Front Porch post, my Mom and I headed down to the Renninger’s Extravaganza on Friday.
I usually do an entire recap from Renningers because it’s always so much fun and we bring home lots of goodies.
This time though, it rained on and off all day which definitely made it harder to shop as a good portion of the vendors had their tents covered.
It wasn’t a total loss though, I managed to come home with a pretty picture frame and a horse grooming brush.
All in all, my Mom and I still had a great time togther and I couldn’t have imagined a better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. I’ll share more photos in the weeks to come.
