Throwback Thursday – #tbt – On A Roof (July 2016)

Mom and dad got invited to a rooftop thank-you event for clients of their financial advisor and managed to convince their advisor to extend the invitation to Shea and I even though our investment portfolios differed by more than a few zeros at the time!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Become a Mini-Man With A Mini-Van (June 2014)

I always joked that as uncool as their reputation is, mini-vans are some of the best vehicles I’ve ever owned – you can load them up like a truck (we literally hauled a fridge to our campsite in the van), the sliding doors are a lot safer in garages and parking lots (especially with kids […]
