Full Circle - Memorial Holiday 2016

It's amazing what can happen in a year!  I love to compare & contrast life events in different seasons and years.  It's one of the many reasons why I've maintained a yearly detailed journal and planner for over fifteen years! Last year's memorial holiday (girl's reunion) had me on a boat, in the middle of the ocean, flirting with Dallas Texas's sexy coast guard officers .
