Hi all -

Many of you already know, but we lost Granny Barb shortly after the New Year.  Our life has been turned upside down.  She will be sorely missed. 

Thank you to everyone for all your support and kind words of encouragement.  We are so grateful for our friends and family.   

We love and miss you Mom!
