It seems the ‘most wonderful time of the year,’ is also the busiest time of the year. The month of December flies by super-fast, and before you... Continue Reading →
First published Monday, August 8, 2011, republished in honor of Veteran's Day. I am grateful to say that my son came home from Afghanistan, was honorably discharged from the Army at the end of his service, is now married and is pursuing a college degree. Thank you, Nathaniel, for your service. Friday, as we were... Continue Reading →
