My Mission

What is your mission? Your mission, should you choose to accept it...

Differently?

What could you do differently? I could get all my ducks in a row, play my cards right, and get my rear in gear. I could live and let live, and realize a stitch in time saves nine. I could hire someone in a New York minute, put my nose to the grindstone, and take … Continue reading Differently?

Nostalgia

What makes you feel nostalgic? Grandma Cutshaw's Coca-Cola ham. We cook it every year for Christmas. Remembering laughter around the table with 12 of us playing canasta at Grandma's. Crazy fun.
