Thank You Huntsville

Filed in spiritTags: , , , ,

Wow, what a week. I’m sorry for having taken so long to post again, but I’ve been exhausted. So on my birthday, at the end of a week without power, without ice, without hot baths, without internet, without “WATCH TV” as the boy shouted just an hour into a week without TV, without hot food, [...]
