    1. Lol, thanks! I am starting to randomly upload. I need to stay organized and sort through one old folder at a time, but I get bored so easily!! I like sorting through old pics, and it gives me a break from trying to ID the endless mushroom photos from this past season ;). And, I like seeing your old treasures too! So fun. Posted 6 years ago
