Foot Prints in the Sand
About 2.5 years ago, I took my boots off and started walking in the sand on the southeast shores of Lake Superior, and I found it to be enjoyable. After I look back on my foot prints, I notice how true they are to life. As I think back to my parents’ house, my sister…

The convention was over today at 12:00. After Lunch, I went through the Tampa Bay History Center. Since it feels like we are just dumped into the city, it is like we do not know what in this area. By going through the center, I have a much better idea on what this area is…
