Oh My, We Are Going To Be Busy!

Posted on Friday, November 15, 2024 by Paul

This morning, we reviewed our calendar packed with activities for the next six weeks. Sometimes, there is a 30-minute window between event #1 and event #2, which gives us time to breathe. I often think of Aunt Opal’s little house … Continue reading →
