The new and uncut version of...li'l ol' lady ME!
I am a loved wife and mama, a grandmama, and a great-grandma, and I had nothing to do with that. But I'm very grateful!
Thank you to the folks in Timpanogos, Utah, for their support.
Jeff Gere shared this photo from the spooky storytelling at Talk Story Festival in Hawaii. Thanks, Jeff!
This is a test. This is just a test. Hopefully, this image is downloadable as a larger TIFF image. (But it's still sideways...hmmmm)
