Journey With Deb

First are always significant. They leave lasting imprints in our lives, create a wealth of memories to look back on and act as a launch pad to aim higher and dig deeper. I vaguely remember my first step as a child, but those first steps have taken me to mountains and terrains beautiful to behold. [...]

Two months ago Gene asked us if we were willing to jazz up a party for her Vanora who was about to turn 5 at that time. Of course we agreed.
