This was one busy week and the only thing that will make me happier than sitting here writing my blog, is a little bowl of ice cream when I'm done! But before I can dig into my low-fat Turkey Hill moose tracks, there is someone to thank. While there were meetings to attend, memos … Continue reading There Is Always Something…

April 10th: Sibling Day
It's all over Facebook today...pictures of siblings thanking siblings; posts singing the praises of the sibling relationships. I have seven, count 'em - seven, sibs: three brothers and four sisters.
