Nearly every summer morning Sue and I would load up our doll strollers and push them along the hard-packed desert sand path…
Book recommendations?
This doesn’t happen often but I’m having trouble finding a book that really captures my attention. I have a whole list of books I want to read but I’m not really in the mood for any of them. I think I want something kind of light…maybe a bit humorous…set in the South or a small…
