Talk To Me
Just came home from a weekend retreat in Waukon, IA. Forgot how dark it can be on a stormy night in the country. Promised we would let people know we'd made it safely, but guess what? No cell phone service or Internet connection. Great to get away from it all. Great to get home, too. Do you live in a "Dark Sky" community?
