Newslines122220 The year that wasn’t fun, nice, full, happy, graceful But we made it thru … A friend asked me today what my word for 2021 is. “I don’t know” I told her. I would like the word “hope” but hoping for a good hand in poker is a loser...
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and were able to celebrate in some capacity with your families. Everyone is so hopeful that the vaccine will work and next year at this time we will be able to celebrate with our friends and family like we have in the...
