I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Ten

The one thing I knew about the desert was that the temperatures would drop. The guy at the check-in desk gave us a small tarp to put on the ground to keep away the creepy-crawly things that live there. It didn’t take long to set up our tent.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Seven

Love Is In The Air As the weeks and months went by, our relationship grew stronger. Yes, we had the occasional disagreement.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Two

A Quick Note A beta reader asked me how we could always giggle, laugh, and kiss because *No one does that!* I beg to differ, my friend.
