Sept/Oct 2023 Island Trip – Day 2
The power came back on at 4 this morning. My little electric heater came to life, I peered at my phone, and went back to sleep. Zero hardship. I spent the morning finishing a duvet cover for a comforter one of my daughters gave me some years ago. While elated to have the comforter for […]
