3) I am thankful for my job and coworkers for their support and love. (yes I said love too) ( Read more... )

Dear Mom,

This week has been very cold.  There hasn’t been any snow to speak of around here but but upstate NY is getting slammed.  They are calling it the “Lake effects”.   I am really glad we don’t live on a lake as beautiful as that may sound.  Unfortunately it will come to us eventually.  I was trying to see what the weather was going to be ( Read more... )

Dear Mom
