Welp folks! The community choir I joined this year is having our annual Christmas Concert today.
If you like Dutch and English Christmas carols, this free event is for you! We also do some pop songs because why not?

We had such terrible news yesterday. We had to rehome a corgi named Fletcher about three years ago. He and Tansy just couldn’t get along, they were fighting, we were hiring pros to help and we finally found the perfect home for him with an old friend. He went to the bridge yesterday.
Fletcher. 💔
