I recently re-designed our entire website. Our last website was built in 2002 and I wanted a more modern look. More importantly though, over time, there were certain things that came up time and time again which I wanted to address. One of these things was NSR (no signature required). Sometimes, because we are all working […]

Today is my birthday and although I’m getting up there in years, I can honestly say that I still love balloons! (Remember when we were little and we used to take the latex balloons, blow them up, and then rub them on our hair to get them to stick to the walls!) It’s not a […]
