November Recap – giving thanks

On November 30, 2025 By Suzanne@PictureRetirementIn month in review, On My Mind, retirement36 Comments

On June 2, 2024June 2, 2024 By Suzanne@PictureRetirementIn On My Mind, retirement34 Comments

Anyone who knows us knows that May is our month to celebrate - Mother's Day, my Birthday, and our Anniversary all happen during this glorious Spring month.
