Bonding Times Together
Need Some Holiday Activities?
I’ve been feeling a bit disappointed the past few days. My youngest daughter and the three grandkids have moved four hours away and I was really looking forward to seeing them at Christmas. But someone on my grandson’s school bus tested positive for covid so everyone on the bus has been told to quarantine until […]

The Death of a Pet
