Throwback photo of Kuna from 3 years ago. Auntie had just gotten home from the hospital and we were realizing that she had full one dementia.   I was spending so much time over there that it made sense to start bringing the dog so we could camp out together.  What a long sad journey that was - every day was an eternity and now it seems like the blink of an eye.  Sigh. RIP Auntie.

Happy April Fool's!

 It seems like an April Fool's joke that I have a post, and a finish, but it's so real!

The finish is El Toro by Barbra Ana:

My Storygraph for the month - I meant to read deep Lenten things but then I grabbed Agatha Raisin and that was that, haha.  I read Waco because it reminds me of my dad, the books on sugar and Cuba because my grandparents had a sugar plantation in Cuba until the Revolution. Witch of Blackbird Pond made my 6th grade heart explode and it was fun to go back.
