Reader Alert
Besides posting photos I have written two pieces recently. "Rain" and "Saying goodbye to a friend" the friend essay was
posted as a draft initially as it was not finished...... then had no phone service. Result is that the date on it is May 2 even though it was just posted.... so it went off the recent journal page because of all the photos etc. This is to encourage you to look back and read it. Thanks. Hawkeye.
