The piece of paper with the title on it is still sitting at my art table. This is a good reminder.

The title, "Wanderlust," says is all, doesn't it -- a lust for wandering. Oddly enough, I was reading some passages in the book just last night, having returned from a memorable day of hiking around an island near my home. It's a book that yields new treasures with each reading, and your your fine critique was equally rewarding.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.com
