Castles for the Princess

World’s Tackiest Cake? The castle turns into a purse for carrying around the princesses. World’s BEST Cake!

Caroline is destined for music videos with lots of mind machines

I appreciate how the trees on the point hide most of the nuclear power plant. More scenic.

Confucius say: Give a man $120 and he will give you an LLC.

Sometimes I take pictures of stuff I want to remember to keep on my phone, but then I forgot to leave them on my phone.

The local tax office is located in part of an old TB hospital.

HUGS
