In 2017 an amazing story unfolded. It was filled with mystery and tension. It had everything you could every want in a story including aliens and exploding bats. The heroes and heroines had familiar faces and an arsenal of special powers and immense reserves of courage and ingenuity. It …
I have finished a project. A big project. I have assembled binders by year containing my favorite photographs I took during our Annual Family Gatherings since 2004. This summer I will spread them out on my big family room table and hope that curious eyes will take the time to …
