Hello.
Welcome to your weekend.
The week can sometimes feel long or stressful. That’s why we like to open up our Saturday with a lighter appraoch. It’s a little “scroll down memory lane.”
We take a simple look back at some events that paved the way to get us here. It’s an easy way to look back before you go forward into today.
