Our Christmas 2020 Newsletter
2020 SPRING
FAMILY NEWSLETTER – APRIL 2020 Oh, my goodness. It is hard to believe – it has been a year since I last wrote our Family Newsletter. Where has the time gone! One of the reasons for the long span of time is because between Sept 2019 and Jan 2020, I was dealing with Lyme’s disease. […]
2019 Spring
It really was a mild winter here in Florida. It is 83 Degrees right now. However, I know those of you from the North Country are still wondering what was wrong with the Ground Hog this year. I just noticed a Facebook post from a friend saying that it snowed up there yesterday. Come on, […]
