I like your list Bon. All of those things are simply amazing. I loved the thing about the chickens, that is one of my favorite sounds but I never thought I could put it into words! :) How have you been? You should email me back or something if you ever get the chance... I'm really bad at calling people. (That is why Jon always calls, I just really don't like the phone haha) I hope that you are feeling well and that everyone is doing well.
Love you!!!

What a perfect list Bonnie, I love it!! makes me smile. That was really sweet of Marty to make you that dinner, give a high five and props for me, go marster. I cant think of anything to add to your list at the moment because it is too perfect. maybe falling asleep to the sound of the ebb and flow of the waves. thats my latest love, we hear that 24/7 at our new place. It is a lullabye. Love you!
