Meet Squirtle the turtle. Cute, isn’t he? He also seems to be the newest member of the Gaddy menagerie! My office mate found him as she was driving in to work yesterday, and, well, he found his way home with me!
🙂
this is me :-)
I'm a mother, an artist, a college professor and a wannabe photographer. Just tryin' to keep it all together and have a little fun in the process.
