The Month Of Maine: September 2022 Recap

The Month of Seattle: June 2022 Recap

2022 is half over…which is strange since my brain still seems stuck in 2020. Oh well. This month we headed back to the States for the first time in several months only for the supreme court to overturn Roe v Wade and take us back 50 years…Welcome back to America I guess.
