Tips for gardening pumpkins
When gardening pumpkins, there are a few things that you need to know. I’m learning these as I go along.

IBC root beer is pretty dark in color, but it is simply the fact that caramel coloring is the third ingredient behind carbonated water and high fructose corn syrup. I don’t find anything special about this root beer. It is drinkable, but not memorable as described on the packaging.

We didn’t catch much or talk about anything profound, but that isn’t what is important. Spending time with your father is something you can’t do with anyone else. Likewise, spending time with your child can’t be done with anyone else.
