Hello! Welcome to your weekend.
Whew. Just like that we are on the other side of another Christmas. We hope yours was wonderful…and maybe now things will slow down a bit? (Famous last words, eh?)
If you take time off to soak up the home stretch of 2025 or if you are right back to the hustle and bustle, we’re glad you are here. Let’s slow things down a bit for our Saturday morning, shall we? A simple “scroll down memory lane” is what we like to do to ease into the day. It’s a simple look back on 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!
