1:54.0	Annie makes Thomasville sound so lovely that it is now my dream to retire there and spend my days at the Bookshelf.
2:01.0	Thank you Jen Cam and thank you to all the reviewers who left kind words and thoughtful reviews for us back in 2022.
2:07.0	We're so grateful anytime you share from the front porch with your friends.
