Where Travel and Learning Come Together
Happy Sunday!! I was thinking about a title for this post. I thought about first calling it, “The Second day of the rest of our lives.” My last day of work with DCS was Friday, and yesterday would have technically been the first day of the rest of our lives, but I will tell you…
Anyone that knows about driving a truck, knows that the transmission is a critical part of driving and towing. And the biggest thing that can damage one the quickest is heat.

A week to go, that’s 7 days and we are underway. It’s coming fast. This past week Kids by Nature came to a close after being open for years. We kicked off the “end” sale. It has been pretty much non-stop for several days now. A lot of stuff has found new homes. Our plan…
