Posted on January 11, 2025January 11, 2025 by Mandy

We had a narrow miss with winter weather Thursday night.  Our forecast looked grim and cold for Thursday night and Friday, with snow estimates from 9-12 inches.  That’s a whole lot of snow for where I live, haha!  I know you Northerners are cackling, but it’s true.  We are not built for winter down in…

Squeezing In Appointments

Posted on December 16, 2024December 15, 2024 by Mandy

We are busy squeezing in appointments this month!  I didn’t realize so many of our appointments fell in December, but I’m glad we are getting them in before the year ends.  First up, I had my cardiologist appointment last Wednesday.  Here I am, patiently waiting for the doctor to see me.
