ReplyDeleteOllie: Thank you. Hollister is about 30 miles to the east of Monterey. I didn't realize how much I missed the open space until I came back after 30 years.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth: I appreciate your support. No major projects at the moment, so I keep my crafting alive through blogs. Thanks for stopping by and following.
