The House Is Now Sold!

Busy, Busy Friday

April 7, 2021 Friday, April 2nd, was a very busy day for me. I had my 20 year anniversary at my job! I can now keep my health insurance with the company. When I started the job, I didn’t think I’d be there for more than a few years. Those of us in IT tend […]
