another hard day at the beach

Sherry | January 16, 2009

I’ll start listening for the garage door in about a half an hour. My dear man is returning for part of the weekend, and we’re low on milk. If I were a better man, I’d go to the store. But no, I choose instead to post these two pictures that represent his week at the [...]

Way before airplanes, and for sure before cell phones and the invention of the internet people [...]
