Vacation Stuff – One
I was on vacation last week. I had a few mini-adventures. Here are some pictures from one of those mini-adventures. If you have specific questions about certain pictures, I am willing to answer direct questions. But the answer will be in 5 words or less.
Jill Gorshe
I was pleasantly surprised by Jill’s choice. Since I had decided to have all people of the female persuasion pick the photos this year, I thought a frog picture would get very little love. But Jill came through for the frog. “It’ll Do Fine” I actually struggled with the naming… Read More »Jill Gorshe
