We lost our kitty Misty this week to what we believe was a run in with one of the undomesticated critters in our area (that’s Rod’s story and he’s sticking to it). To our dear furry friend you will be greatly missed. Thank you for being a part of our lives for the […]

My husband is a geek. He loves technology, science and is very cutting edge.
