STATE OF MIND

Posted on February 27, 2016 by

PASS THE AWESOME SAUCE, PLEASE

Posted on September 25, 2015 by

The fog had not yet cleared, the air had a nip to it that warranted wearing a light jacket, and I was dang happy that Lucy did not step on the snake that popped from the underbrush and slithered across … Continue reading →
