Thank you so much for including my posts as “finds” this week! Have a great weekend.
Thank you, Linda, for including a couple of my last week’s posts. Even better, the one about Riding the Rails! Oh, my! What a story! I had great uncle who rode the rails during the Depression, so the details about that are so welcome. Right before my husband was sent to Vietnam, he was stationed at Mountain Home AFB, Idaho. We spent time in the Idaho mountains and encountered Basque sheepherders. How I enjoyed the story of those days. I’m so thankful you shared this!
