Family First

So here is what has been keeping me so busy lately! My in-laws..... my father-in-law lives here, but my brother-in-law came for a visit. These 3 have recently reunited and it is wonderful to see. Unfortunately, we lost my other brother-in-law late last year, but sometimes this is what it takes to get families back together....

May 2017 Wednesday Hostess Club

Retiring List PDF

I wasn't sure if the Retiring List would be easier to view in a PDF file or just on the webpage. I like this PDF since it goes by page number so you can quickly find the item that is being discontinued! :) Linda
