It may be on the driveway???
I woke up today and called Allison, who was at the airport leaving for Ohio. She said: Oh, I’m glad you’re calling, I was just texting you to call me when you woke up. I have a favor to ask you. You’re not going to like it. I can’t find …

Sangría? Denied.
Allison hasn’t found her drivers’ license since she returned from her trip to the Amazon almost two weeks ago. Since she wouldn’t need it, she left it in a very safe place not even she can find. Today the Amazon trip group met up at a bar to hang out …
