Shannon, you Always put a smile on my face. You aren’t afraid to show and share your design flaws, inside and out... ... makes me feel more human. You’re our home town girl and you’re real. I think the Flying Kitchen is Great. You’re still getting your sea legs. Quite a move from the southern USA, to Germany 🙀 You’re putting your family of 9 together again. I love your posts, your food and your family and your pets. I’m sure it was culture shock for them, too... Love You❤️❤️❤️read more
