ReplyDeleteGood think Pablo Neruda and her spouse have arrived on the island . Your mother was getting weird. It occurs to me that if I wrote a personal like she just did on WICSS, Dakota Wolf cub would DIE. Of embarassment, that is.
who is Pablo?
ReplyDeleteAnd i know...she was getting weird. Sigh. I think the part of me that could die of embarassment died a long time ago...
