Life Well:) I don't really want to go to a lot of trouble here:):) Lets face it a guy could write a novel to cover 25 years!

Hopefully they will have noticed that all that struggling I did trying to go to school and raise them also has had its benefits:) We usually drive home every year in our old motorhome to enjoy the beach and do the usual theme park tour that I took for granted while I lived there.
