Here's the deal. There's no mist happening in our neck of the woods today. What is Frank thinking, wanting us all to share misty thoughts? Well...I've got some news for him. I'm sending this here letter to shed some white light on what's happening across the ocean blue from where he lives. Don't sigh, he… Continue reading When memories of dewdrops freeze
