Twin Falls and 2 Offers

Today is usually therapy day but….. one therapist told us last week that she’d be out of the office today.  Fast forward to this morning when the other therapist called in sick.  Result:  AG and I get to play hookie today.    Drawback: It’s raining. Yes, our delightful Washington summer has not worked out as […]
