My Cat, Panda

copyright 1996, Dean Isaacson It was a beautiful morning. I walked out the door and stood on the porch, surveying the landscape and breathing the morning country air. The farmers weren’t spraying the money this morning, so the air was pretty fresh. I was getting ready for my morning jog. “It is so good to [...]
