Book & Paper Arts Calendar Updates - June 26, 2020
Hello everybody,
I hope everyone is riding out Covid-19 (C19) by keeping not only physically but mentally & emotionally safe. It does take its toll on you and even though things are starting to open up again, Bill is in the higher risk category and we are still getting food to go from restaurants. We are itching to travel but that, too, will have to wait. sigh
Hope y'all are staying safe and well - Jade
