Putnam & Dutchess County Weekly Events 2/11 – 2/14
So my older daughter has discovered the joy of early dismissal and morning delays! I will happily take that early spring the groundhog predicted sooner than later! We are headed to the Playfair and then to Sesame Street Live for Valentine’s Day. I hope you get some special time with the ones closest to your heart as well!
