Susan was scheduled to be in the office for most of the day, and Gabi, too.

Though she wasn’t ugly, she was definite...

But I’m enjoying the hike...
Whoever said laughter was the best medicine obviously didn’t have broken ribs. Watching Molly wrestle the calves down in an attempt to force-feed them was a riot.
