Okay, the camera got changed to fish-eye lens on me, probably tossing around in the purse. But here they are, ready to start their run around the park. Heidi runs, so p.j. knows what has to be done. She changed into a pair of Julia’s bike shorts, and told me she needed shoes. “I can’t […]
We had this whole blank day, and yesterday I was determined we not waste it. Days like this–good weather, free time, far too rare. So we hatched a plan to head to an apple orchard and found this one online, and this morning drove out there in person. Dannell and her guys joined us and
