Mark Your Calendars: Best Upcoming Events February 15, 2021 — February 19, 2021
My best friend texted me earlier today saying that “it still feels like January” and she’s right! We are almost done with winter, and I’ve just realized that! I don’t think I’ve made any winter related jokes in my posts either! And even worse, I still haven’t thought of something! So I guess you should sit back, open up your calendars and get planning, while I think of something clever for next week’s post before it’s too late.
