Flannel and Firepits

Tim came to our house for my wife's birthday. The theme was Flannel and Firepits. He spent an hour telling us stories around a fire. He was punctual, polite, and a great storyteller. We were not sure what to expect but we loved the experience. In fact, everyone was talking about what a great job Tim did.
