Deb, please take the text, the images, anything and all and make it your own. It's what we intended by not doing anything too fancy "one less thing to do, don't work too hard". We put our efforts in the sensing and feeling and what a wonderful ride it has been. So apply your talents and go have fun.
With love always, Suzanne (and Barry) *Suzanne Daigle* 203-722-2009 A Born Nomad on Life's Trek Open Space on the Open Road On Fri, Mar 29, 2024 at 11:56 AM Deborah Preuss <d...@deborahpreuss.com> wrote: > Suzanne, > > What you've written here is so lovely.
