Our nearest neighbor has put his home on the market for the umpteenth time. He had a crew of realtors/photographers out to take pictures of his property the other day. They used a drone outside to take pictures from above. … Continue reading →

Day 193: Thoughts on Writing

Posted on 09/22/2020 by chick
