Granny Pam M-in-L’s family reunion was last Sunday. To be as specific as she is, “My mother’s family was the one that got together”. M-in-L was thrilled as more and more people drove in. We think there were about 110 or so, but we didn’t have everyone sign in. I guess that’s new for next year. We … Read more

At some light, one of those advance green arrows the traffic engineers are so proud of, the 3 or 4 … Read more
