The only time I ever had two flats in one day it was in Africa and well the whole 7 day road trip was sort of like that. Glad you got home safely, Hope, and thanks for the recounting of your trip. Sorry about your marriage, and I wish you many wonderful insights as you grow and heal. May you build a new life that is deeply satisfying.<BR/><BR/>OhEssAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27627502.post-51073653115442181942008-02-14T14:58:00.000-08:002008-02-14T14:58:00.000-08:00Hope, it is so good to that you and safe now and s...Hope, it is so good to that you and safe now and settled in.
