Family Life

Good Morning, Last week I left you our family had went through a rough period in our lives and came out stronger. I am trying to think how to explain it to you.

Good Morning, Last week I left you in 1993-1994. A little about this picture. One day this man appears at the front door and has this picture with him.

That was before we had decided to sell and move. We ordered a large framed one that I have hanging in the living room now. Who would have thought...Read Full Story
