Today's Friday Photo Flashback takes us all the way back to....... yesterday! Ok, maybe the photo doesn't really qualify as Flashback, but the story is too funny not to share.

A Look Back at 2023
Perhaps this year I will plan a bit better. I hoped to post this year-end recap on January 1, 2024, but life had other plans.

If I was better at that, I could have had a month's worth … Continue reading When Christmas Comes To Town

It is hard to believe that we are just 4 days away from Christmas. Someone observed that time moves a whole lot faster in December if you are an adult. This is so true! As a kid, it seemed to crawl by as we waited for Christmas. SNOW! This weekend kept us pretty busy. We … Continue reading Pre-Holiday Weekend Wrap Up
