Hello. Welcome to your weekend. We’re glad you are here!
We like to start Saturday morning’s with an intentional slow down. This is a “scroll down memory lane.” It’s just a simple look back at events that happened on this day in history before we head out to make new history today. So, grab your favorite sippin’ drink and let’s scroll!
