A walk down Memory Lane
Today my husband was cleaning out some very old files and came across these S & H Green Stamps. He showed them to me, and it sent both of us on a short trip down Memory Lane. My usual trail walks are outdoors in parks and nature centers, so admittedly this is a bit of a …
Climbing the Emergent Tower: Sharing lessons I’ve learned
Autumn is definitely here; I can see countless signs! With winter nipping at our heels (sob-sob), I'm trying my best to take advantage of the beautiful weather we are enjoying right now.
