Andi’s New Year’s Eclipse

See more Andi’s Journal Entries ➡️ December 1888 I do not know how I was talked into visiting San Francisco for the holidays. I mean, honestly! Riley had barely recovered from his horrible accident at Thanksgiving, and Kate begged and pleaded for the entire extended family to come to the city for a special Christmas.Continue reading “Andi’s New Year’s Eclipse”

The Stories Are Off to the Judges!

Whoosh! Why everybody waits until the last few hours of the last day of a contest is a mystery to me! I’ve spent my day (a good portion of it, anyway) reading, reading, and reading.

Here are the original photos IContinue reading “Jem = Levi”
