Deanne and Delia hit the road
Dear Diary, I headed to the island last week and took a few shots going over the big bridge. It was the Deanne and Delia Road trip that I referred to before. We had a grand time, teasing and carrying on with Elga at the woollen mill. She has the patience of Job. Having the energy of me and Delia to deal with at the same time is medal deserving.
