Note from the Author!

Thanks to the Great Website Crash of 2017, many photos prior to that time are missing. Also, the WordPress shift to Gutenberg in January 2019 forced me to rebuild the site since my template wasn’t compatible, so if you run across any weird coding, that’s why. Gradually, I’ll get it all fixed!
