Long Time Gone Parts A and B

I know I’ve been away for a while and I have nothing exciting to report (in part A) except a little catch-up in snakelady world. I took Thanksgiving week off and got a lot done. For one thing, 12 kinds of cookies. This year I won’t regale you with the list but I will tellContinueContinue reading “Long Time Gone Parts A and B”
