Greetings from Yosemite National Park

I am a nature nut and find my most peaceful moments within nature. I have spent many breathtaking moments in Yosemite. Throughout the world the magnificence of Creation speaks of the splendor found, therein. Family picnics and nature visits should never be subjected to lack of funds to maintain the beauty that was so easily given unto us, by our Heavenly Father.

Sincerely,
Sherry Bailey
