Dixie just told me she put a letter in the mailbox for Guppy (my mom) a few days ago...no envelope or stamp. She asked me to call and see if she got it yet. Also, she let me know that she’d rather be swallowed by a dinosaur than rolled over by a bunch of rocks...in [...]
This is hands down one of my favorite photos. Not because of spectacular lighting or composition, but because it’s hands down one of my favorite memories. Summer. Sunshine and 75° weather.
