August was the first month in five years of tweeting where I didn’t do an @8days2Amish monthly round-up. There was a huge outcry. Well, an outcry of one. A buddy said he missed it. So for Brent -- and you! -- here are two months worth!
Some of these made their way into my new “Use All The Crayons!” deluxe edition. More on that.
Hope you’re having a great weekend!
