Die-Hard Cub Fans
Cole and I made a stop at a new cemetery (Yikes! I forgot to write down the name, but I will find out...) and met a few die-hard Cub fans! After I took the picture, I asked, "so who is going to win the World Series?" A tree rustled and I believe the answer was … Continue reading Die-Hard Cub Fans
