Friday April 17, 2020 Today was a reminder that there is a lot of good in the world. The signs were everywhere along our route today. People chatting while practicing the 6 feet+ social distancing. Displays of civility and good neighbors wishing each other well thru the use of prayer flags and a second fence …
Thursday April 16, 2020 It’s funny how a little thing like changing direction can also change one’s perspective.
