Fitting for my day.
I came home tonight to a package in the mail. I thought it might be something I was expecting from a relative, but no – it was from Peggy! Woo-hoo!! Upon opening, it was a darling package of scratch paper. I adore homemade paper – my sister used to make it, y’know. Beautiful! Say, they’re [...]
