#4 Daughter, Sara Marian Ignacio, finally sent me one door from her field study in Spain lo, these many years ago. It was worth waiting for.

As we like to say, “Watch that first step: It’s a doozy.”

  I know, right? I don’t know if you read Terry Pratchett, but doors like that make me think of his Lord Vetinari. When Lord Vetinari says, “Pray do not let me keep you,” HE MEANS IT.

That’s a great photo, Marian. Kudos to Sara.
Good thing there’s a perch next to the door for the mini-sport-dragon to perch after he hovers at the door to let the occupant inside. 😀 Big hugs.

  I hope so, too, but I doubt she will until this semester officially ends. It’s been a grind for her.
