We have such wonderful neighbors. Every year one of them puts out a mailbox for kids to drop off letters to Santa. They then answer them. Last year, they wrote such a precious letter to Ella and Andrew. They posted on the neighborhood Facebook page that the mail box was out and awaiting letters. I'd … Continue reading I Played Secretary Today
Trivia Break …
Last night, our company had our monthly meeting/holiday get together. We began with presentations from some of our equipment representatives. That was followed by a presentation from one of our docs.

This blog is actually a recycling of an earlier Thanksgiving blog from four years ago, updated for 2023. I have gained many new followers over … Continue reading Thanksgiving Rerun
