Posted 5-12-20 Hi all! Happy Tuesday to all! Kind of a cold, rainy day here in the Ozarks. The KY3 weather app today says rain with a high of 50 and a low of… 50. One thing they are sure of? It will be 50 today. 😉 That reminds me a little of choosing true…

Posted 5-5-20 Happy Tuesday, all! Happy Cinco de Mayo too! It is also Giving Tuesday, a day set aside for people to give to organizations that they appreciate. I very seldom ask for money for our agency (and I would never ask for it for me), but if you feel compelled to give, here is…
