Wow! The compression sack my mom lent me is amazing! All my clothes fit in it, and then I can compress them to take up even less space. When I get it down all the way, all my clothes take up about the same amount of space as a ziplock or two (as I was [...]
Sunday was a pretty nice day. My dad made a “German pancake” with strawberry filling for breakfast before church. My mom and I had a nice time talking to some new people at the potluck afterwards.
