Weird how his letter covered

Posted on Tue, 15 Feb 2022

Weird how his letter covered in blood was meant to have started the thing with teddy bears and chocolate. And weird how the greatest gift between states was bits of dead people. Giant Pandas much better. Would  not have known anything about him...

What a lot of snowdrops!!!

That always bothered me, too.

Posted on Fri, 11 Feb 2022
