My wish list […]

Creating Thanks and Catching Up
November 25th, 2015 // 11:43 am @ Scott Manning
Sure I look forward to the Holidays but probably for different reasons than most. I like to think that I do a pretty good job of staying in touch and showing love and appreciation to my family all through the year, not just on a couple days each month. But, I do know that the […]
