When I went back many years later, I didn't think I was picking up something bad in the room, it was just spooky.<br />Anyway--nice illustrations.<br />Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-73697136921728806092022-11-30T17:49:30.508-05:002022-11-30T17:49:30.508-05:00Not all of the leaves have that border so the ones...Not all of the leaves have that border so the ones that do are special to me. <br />I can't wait to show the book to the boys.

The problem arises when either people don't see it at all because they're texting or gawking at the joys of Lloyd or else they treat it like a four-way stop where everyone has to stop and take turns proceeding. <br />I will take a picture soon. <br />And yes, it was wonderful to see Lon and Lis.

Best of luck to Lon on his roof, our is getting done right now and there’s a crew of six up there now.
