But still, I was incredibly excited when I heard there was another new dog park in town! It's called the K9 Korral Dog Park at Harlinsdale Farm. So the dog and I both jumped in the Jeep and we went to check it out... First Impressions I can't count the number of times I've passed by Harlinsdale Farm on Franklin Road, yet I never stopped to see what … [Read more...]

Everywhere that we've lived, we've always been fortunate to have a responsible teenager living … [Read more...]
