Appreciate The Things Around You #SOL23

Day 10 – On The Road – #SOLC

Just a quick slice today about the day and upcoming days. Sure enough, our "snow storm" gave us a two hour early out, a two hour late start, and that was it! However, we don't need to make the day... Continue Reading →

Day 9 – Snow, What’s It Good For? – #SOLC23

Snow storms. I love a good snowstorm. I despise the hype about snow storms because the last three "epic" storms have been duds. Now, that's not to say storms in other parts of the country haven't been epic, but here... Continue Reading →
