The "oughtn't we instantly be bonding" question certainly rolled around in my head, and I'm sure it was 1,000x with the Divine Miss H.

We hope you all are having a great time in Ethiopia and have a safe trip to the US. Jaclyn and LorenJaclynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673667946645961692noreply@blogger.com
