Just a glimpse…of this life
On August 18, 2019 by Michelle LoveI have had a few people ask about Carly – how she’s doing after having her wisdom teeth removed on Friday afternoon. It’s no joke.

Signs at the Shore
On December 31, 2018 by Michelle LoveEach morning when I came down to the shore this bird is standing here. Just this lone bird.
