Limerick:

When launching a wonderful project,
Remember your vision, your concept.
Things may go awry,
In spite of your "try,"
Stay true to your marvelous prospect!

Lin, I thought about you and Bob on Saturday, warm and humid as it was, as you headed to Mankato. Thought about you again on Sunday as the clouds moved in. You were likely tucked into bed when the rains came. Today, Monday, is clearing and beautiful! Enjoy each mile!

Nice to hear, Lin! I think of you on these beautiful days. ❤️

Thinking of you- amazed!
