Pinatas!
People like my grammie: pure hearted, artistc and kind. Here is a picture of me with my two favorite girls People like my grand-pappy: sound advice, a true heart, and A LITTLE CRAZY. People that can space-out and be perfectly comfortable in the moment. People that are tolerant but can still make a decision. Does that make sense?
