Much to Learn: Best Laid Plans
With thanks to Paolo of Wholebean and I Sarah and Mark's Story began here Six weeks. She was supposed to have six weeks to prepare herself for this encounter. Although Sarah had initially been disappointed that between Mark’s schedule and hers there was no earlier date available for the two of them to get together, she … Continue reading Much to Learn: Best Laid Plans
