Lone Pine – Final tasks before heading out
Dang. I wrote a nice long comment about all this, and then when I tried to post it, the darned thing disappeared. Here's the short version, because I'm not up for a re-write:
ReplyDeleteGood for you for taking Jesse's advice to heart. Our travels have taught us similar lessons. Yay Leslie!
I didn't realize it had been so long since I'd checked on your progress, and am enjoying getting caught up this afternoon. :)
