My Second youngest is getting married in 2 weeks and my youngest graduated high school today. So, as a family we are halfway there. It has been an interesting 3 years. […]
This afternoon was the big day in which I had to train the new employee at the store. I must say that I was really impressed. By the time 9pm rolled around, he had learned A LOT. I began by taking him on a tour of the store… all the departments, the walk-in coolers, the
