    Dec 24, 2021 | Last Updated Dec 24, 2021 by Dan Mikesell AKA DrDan

    Happy Holidays to Everybody, and Happy Birthday to our girls, Lilly and Molly. They were born on Christmas Eve 2013. This has been another trying year for everybody so please take a few minutes to stop and reflect on good things in your life.

    So hang the stockings by the chimney with care and have a Merry Christmas, or a great and joyful holiday no matter what holiday you are celebrating this season.

    Remember to show everybody the grace and joy in your heart.

    Molly, Lilly, Wifo, and DrDan
