Gracie’s in the picture too. Let me know if you see her. We were out on the Reno dike yesterday. Cold, windy, the sky was gray and it was almost raining. We were the only people there - ours ...

here Don’t know if I’m saving enough money not drinking pop to buy a house though.

Calendar says so. It’s been spring now for a couple weeks - the second quarter of the year - the Equinox thing. Plus next week is Easter. See above and below for brand new fresh crocus pho...
