Quotes by Sandra Shaw Homer (?)

“In the upcoming print annual Oasis Journal 2016, you'll find a bit of nostalgic whimsy called "Bicycle Summers." It's fun to remember moments from childhood . . . and even more fun to write about them! The journal will be available in October on Amazon.”
― Sandra Shaw Homer
