I’m a big Disney fan. Maybe that’s why my daughter holds the world record for visits to Disneyworld, Disneyland, and photos with Mickey and friends - even in her 30's - influenced largely by Mom and Dad of course.

Boy is that a tough assignment. I’m deeply engaged in a 10-month program that…

Countless hours of renovation and tender care believing I’d live out the rest of my days in this beautiful home; family intact. But it just wasn’t meant to be.
