Good morning. May the 4th be with you. Huge Stars Wars fan here. Never rode a bike to school, never had a bike when I was young. I love watching the sandhill cranes here. They drink out of our birdbath. Have never had Candied Orange Peels. I have no idea what the quote is about. Will be in Lahaina Hawaii in February 2024, hopefully. Although it tired her out I'm sure Tana was happy to be outside. Prayers and toasts to our lists. Please continue to stay safe, social distance and wear your mask.

Major prayers for peace for @kazu. Prayers and toasts to our lists. Please continue to be safe and wear your mask. The virus is rearing its ugly head again.
