We had to pay for our own bus…And sometimes sleep is not guaranteed… but it’s been worth every penny and sleepless night. Love our little team like no other. If I’ve learned anything – fight for your family. Fight to be together when you can. And don’t take any moment for granted. We are not promised tomorrow. So make memories TODAY 🙂 That’s all I got!

But having family and my best friends come visit me was definitely a major highlight for me.”

The Hallmark movie Rip in Time will premiere as part of Hallmark Movies and Mysteries May lineup.

Sarah’s son and her father immediately take to Rip, and he helps her solve a variety of problems she has on the farm. In an attempt to help him determine his identity, she takes him to see several doctors in New York City.
