Working from Home: Week 15
Never, never, never give up. ~ Winston Churchill This is the first full week of June and yet this month seems almost over.

"And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby has always been one of my favorite books.

One always measures friendships by how they show in bad weather. ~ Winston Churchill Another week has passed. We are still in shelter in place or stay home, stay healthy.
