I just went a week without meat, and I don’t intend to eat meat again

I’m coming back, I promise!

December 4, 2009 by hollie Deep and Meaningful Commentary

Tomorrow we leave for Portland, to visit family and have the Thanksgiving Day celebration we missed having with them last week, thanks to a few of us being sick.
I’ll return on Sunday, and write up some about what I’ve been doing! I’m so excited to get back to this!
