She frowned. “We want to see the president,” the man said softly. “He’ll be busy all day,” the secretary snapped. “We’ll wait,” the lady replied. For hours, the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would…

Recently, with Covid-19, one of the few things we can do for fun is to take a ride into the country. Here’s one of our favorite. By Ann…
