We were on a walk along the FUTS not far from my house. “It was good,” he said. “Juanita’s family was very nice.”kAm“$:I >@?E9D :D 2 =@?8 E:>6 E@ 36 2 9@FD68F6DE]”k^AmkAm{2>2C 49F4<=65] “*@F H@F=5?’E <?@H :E 7C@> 9@H H6 H6C6 EC62E65] (6 DE2J65 H:E9 yF2?:E2’D 8C2?5>@E96C[ r92CC@’D >@>] xE H2D 4@KJ[ 3FE H6 DA6?E 2 =@E @7 E:>6 @FED:56 2?5 E96 7@@5 H2D 56=:4:@FD]”k^AmkAmQx 42?
