ReplyDeleteI saw that you want to connect with your nephew; we took the train last summer and loved it. I hear the train is super convenient in Santa Barbara.
ReplyDeleteYes, the train is very convenient. I have connected via email and once he finishes grad school in a few weeks we will have to get together.
DeleteYour goals for the month of May are really nice. I also settle the goals before the start of month and sometimes year. In this way, we can make the strategy to achieve our goals.
