February 27, 2015 Chapter 3 Transfer Time Previous Post | Next Post Table of Contents We had laughed when we looked at the sleeve that our room keys came in and saw this warning about stranger danger.

October 21, 2014 Chapter 9 Who’s This Jackass? Previous Post | Next Post Table of Contents I accompanied Tracy to work on Wednesday, and we were both a little exhausted from the Halloween Party the night before.
