A Week in Review

I’ve been back to posting fairly regularly for a little more than a month now.

What Kind of Year Has It Been

Let's recap: 2016 was quite the year. Like every year it has had it's share of good and bad.  My little family has been able to travel, we moved into a new home, and have been very fortunate in mulitple ways.

Where did all our friends go?

I got a text message the other day from an old friend.  It was great to hear from them and we chatted back and forth for a bit before the conversation drifted off. I began thinking about friends.  I have always had a lot of friends, people that I was close to, talked to, hung … Continue reading Where did all our friends go?
