What a beautiful picture of the two of them.
Your voice to text made a funny error when describing her gown. I had to look at the clip to make sure I wasn’t making it up.
Mrs. P. – Thank you for pointing that out. A sharkskin gown is quite unusual ( but Alta was not the usual person) but a skarks in down doesn’t make any sense.!!! I’ve made the correction. :)
I’ll be waiting patiently for more :) Hope you’re recovering from your surgery.
Notes To Ponder – Thank you for asking about my surgery. Everything was going wonderfully until I broke my kneecap at 7 weeks. Needless to say, it had slowed down my physical therapy… and me… a bit, but maybe that was a good thing !!!
