Today we took a mini road trip. We looked at potential towns for relocation. We like our little rental house. Emphasis on the little. One of our 2021 goals is to create an O’Gara Clan estate.

I ❤️ Mail
I love real mail. Paper and stamps and cards and words… It takes time to mail a real letter. Few humans take the time to send cards or letters.
