Today was my Dad’s 80th birthday and there was a big party at the rec center. Everyone was there, family member I have not seen for many years. It was great to see everyone, sit down, talk, and reminisce about the years gone by. And boy, you really do realize how many years have past.…

Take a look at this picture, the room is ‘Ready to move’. We have to get everything out of all the furniture, cabinets, drawers, etc. and the floor guys will move the furniture out to the pod. Lisa took on this room and it was a big, very fragile task. Emptying out her China cabinet.…

I see many a sunrises like this from the comfort of my own backyard. Each morning I go out and soak the pains of the day before a way in the hot tub. It is nice to have a beautiful view like this and just relax to get started before the morning shower. Sometimes I…
