• Thankful Thursday 04.05.23: Doors and a lot more

  

  It’s been a long time since I participated in Thursday Doors- first, for the want of doors and then, for the want of time. But here I am, with doors from Morocco. My sister visited the country to rein in her birthday on the 12th of March. And I asked her for pictures of the…
