So many fond memories over the years.<br />We never had the time to look back and really absorb or digest it all, because of our hectic job schedule.<br />Now is the time - or never!<br />Hugs,<br />Mariette<br /><br />Mariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-11822384486436058612018-02-06T22:41:41.538-05:002018-02-06T22:41:41.538-05:00Dearest Tamago,
