Not that I have been posting here all that much anyway, but Joan and I are leaving on our next great adventure today so most of the writing and blogging will occur on the Grandmas Recess blog.
Happy trails!
p.s. I finally got around to posting the story of our trip to California back in May on Grandma's Recess.
