Memoir Continued – Image of Lynn – A Memory Impression
Image of Lynn I was looking through some of my old journals, reminiscing about my first attempt at married life. A strong image of Lynn came to me as I had known her early in our relationship. I’ve given all the photos I had of her to Kristen and Ian, and I haven’t seen her…
