By Steve | Published: September 14, 2011
I heard those words last night while I was outside doing a little yard clean up. It came from the front porch of the house next door where three small children were laughing and playing. A fourth child walked up and asked that simple question… “Can I play?” As crazy as [...]

What a Difference a Day Makes

By Steve | Published: August 29, 2011
Well, I am glad that is over. I am happy to report that we successfully made it through Hurricane Irene. Although our area was pretty badly hit, we personally made out very well with minimal issues.
