I think COVID has changed all of our routines. In the past, we checked for key and glasses and such. Now, we must secure the mask.
ReplyDeleteHappiest Sunday, Gillena.

I had a friend, back in my young and single days, who came home from Florida with several bullet holes in his car. The mountains could tell many stories if they but would.
