Finally, he and I struck a pose &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/hirezresize.jpg\" alt=\"hirezresize\" width=\"498\" height=\"455\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/hirezresize.jpg 498w, https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/hirezresize-300x274.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8230; and then I ran off with his chain.
