“Hey stranger.”
His greeting contained a hint of sarcasm with a hint of truth. I hadn’t been back to the Urbana Neighborhood Connections Center (UNCC) for a string of days since May.

Themed bars are always wonderful, espcially when they have lava lamps.
Whenever I'm with my family, ice cream is always a must.
Helped my great aunt record her speech as she took us through a family history lesson through the local cemetary.
Nostaliga right on Main Street.
Found while weeding.
Her nickname is Pandy.
