Levi spent his 40s, and the ’40s (1840s that is) panning, digging, clawing, mucking and chucking for gold in them hills, them dales, them vales and them northern, western and southern climes.

Before the rolls were ready … Continue reading "Writing Assignment – Instagram Is Down…DESCRIBE Your Lunch To Me!"
