It’s funny that this is the prompt for this month, as I’ve just returned from an impromptu trip to Pennsylvania with my daughters.

It was a whirlwind trip, but it was one that I’ll treasure forever. ABOUT 10 ON THE 10TH 10 on the 10th is hosted by Marsha at Marsha in the Middle.

10 on the 10th: June 2024
Hey, Friends! How’s it going? Things are going well over here. I spent the day prepping for a photography project for the coming week. Our college is co-hosting a manufacturing camp for high school students, and I’m taking pictures for the event. Normally, I simply take pictures for our college, but tomorrow, I’ll also be taking pictures for one of our community partners.
