My Birthday Wish 31 January 2011

Thank you for so many happy birthday wishes. I’m having  a lovely day here in sunny California. I’ve been writing this blog for over a year and sharing my travels with you, and I would so love it if you to write back to me today. Saturday’s post was an especially important one as it’s [...]

‘Buses by the Bridge XV’

Thanks

Thanks is one of the tabs at the very top of the page that I added to show my appreciation for people who I meet on this journey. Here I am at Laurie’s in Carpinteria. Words cannot express my thanks to her and her family for their generosity. If you can see the writing on the [...]
