Spend time with the Lord because without him, we are nothing
It was a very busy week last week for me. I spent the week in Groesbeck covering the Limestone County Fair. It was a great week. I love taking pictures and capturing memories that will last a lifetime. Although I only got a couple of hours of sleep a night, I am ready to do it again next year. Thank you Limestone County for having me over for the third straight year to cover your county fair. 04/02/2025 11:00 PM
