By the way, Jane, I congratulate you for your WordPress site, it is really great. Which WordPress Theme template do you use? Thanks and best regards. 😍👍👏
LikeLiked by 1 person
Thanks, Jacinto. The name of the theme is Traveler. Funny you should ask, I was just inquiring about an issue with WP and found out that this theme is no longer supported by WP. I can keep using it but I guess updates and things won’t work with it. Not sure about all the technical stuff, but looking around for a similar theme. 😔

I’m happy to see you’re feeling the joy, Jane. Oh, the bark miracles – that’s my fav! The driftwood makes an attractive abstract, too.

I hope all’s well with you and the family!
