EMOTIONAL. That’s how I feel right now after getting my first dose of Moderna’s

-19 vaccine.
A freezer at one of the pop-up vaccine clinics broke & they had 200 extra doses.
It has been a long, long year, and it feels so good to be one step closer to normalcy. 💉❣️

Je t’aime Paris ❤️ Restez en sécurité s’il vous plaît.
For those of you who don’t know, I lived in Paris for a semester in college. I frequented this area quite often & it’s so sad to see such a beautiful cathedral that means so much to so many in flames today.

Look at this sinkhole! According to the Lincoln County Dept. of Roads, the hole is on Cut Creek Road just south of Maxwell. It's around 20 feet deep. They say it was possibly started by a badger and then caved in with the heavy rains.
@NTVNEWS
This is just so UNACCEPTABLE. For someone to think they can just call and say something like this to someone...they should reevaluate how they feel about themself first.
It was SO busy, but it was SO much fun to spend my day at
