I'm joining Coco and Deborah and grateful that my sister was on hand for the return of my mom's regular aide. I haven't actually spoken with my sister, but I assume things went okay.

Falling Waters?: Tea/coffee Date October 2023
I'm joining Coco and Deborah and sharing some stories that have water involved.

They’re Baaack!: Runfessions September 2023
