I know we had a difficult weather week. I have certainly heard your frustrations. Midwest weather spanning 82 sq. miles of a school district makes it hard to predict. I am still your biggest fan & advocate. These are tough calls- No School 1-24-20.
It’s official! We got married, again! After 20 years of marriage & 27 overall together, Tiffany and I renewed our vows at

Feeling extra lucky & blessed today! My wife & I had a room of old old carpet we’d been meaning to replace but just hadn’t had the time. She took it upon herself to pull up the carpet, then sand, stain & finish it to brand new hardwood floors! I am one lucky husband!
