Week #102! Did any of you wonder why I hadn’t mentioned my daughter and her family when I was talking about the tornado a couple of weeks ago? I didn’t leave her out on purpose. She and her family were in Paris! So, I didn’t have to worry about her. She used to live just …
Nothing new… How is life for you today, my friends? Docent training is going well. I had been thinking I really hadn’t learned much.
