Why is it when Dave leaves, the dog gets crazy? Currently, he’s off in India jumping between Goa & Chennai for the next week. There is one other place but I can’t recall where.

It raised $65 for the National Education Program for Homeless Children & Youth. My sister-in-law let me know it received severalContinue reading “Off to Florida”
