Happy Birthday Katie (and Katie Kits)
Well, on Friday, June 30th, a few of us were able to gather for what would have been Katie’s 47th birthday. We were at the beach where Katie celebrated her 42nd, 43rd and 44th birthdays with Nate and the rest of us. It was a beautiful day again by the lake, and could feel Katie’s ...

Happy Valentine’s Day
Just wanted to wish you all a very Happy Valentine’s Day!
