Last Saturday afternoon was a nice time to go for a walk on the beach...
...so that’s what we did.
Not all that long ago, we would have considered such an adventure to be one of our Pandemic Dates. Now, the pandemic may be over for a lot of folks. We’re not quite sure about that, for very personal...
