    by
    The summer of love. I think I’m in the running for being the elder in DS106 which may also make me the original hippy. OH instead of OG. Oh, and the best part is, my high school girlfriends and I still relive the memories each summer at some exotic place for a weekend. I’ve found […]

It was promised that the community could provide help if needed. And, it was perfect ...
