Crazy how 10 years flies by. I know there’s this trend going from 2016 to 2026 but 10 years ago, TODAY, we met at the Dead Rabbit on Stone St only to find it was too busy and we walked across the street to another bar to sit and talk. The rest is simply history. 3 homes, a dog, 2 kids, our family is complete. To many many many more. I love you so much .crooks you are everything to our family. Here’s to many many many more decades.
