Hello, fellow Glimpsers! We will be the last delegation for the summer. I am so impressed with all that you have accomplished in such a short amount of time. We will be leaving NYC on Monday 8/10-20. We have some big shoes to fill. I am loving reading your blog. Can’t wait until it’s our turn to share our memories.
BIG LOVE!
