A Trip Back Home

November 29, 2009

Susan, It was great seeing you the other day, and even better to know how you and Bob made the years with one another. I’m going to send a picture, if I could ever figure out the scanner, of you… and I have another one of Bob when he ran the kitchen. My experience from [...]
