Happy Father's Day
It is Father's Day weekend and I hope all the dad's out there have a chance to stop and Enjoy the Little Things in their lives....especially their kids. We are very thankful to have a great "Daddy-O" at our house and lucky to have "Pop" (my dad) in our lives too....we hope they know how loved they are and will be sure to make the day special for them. A great big HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all of those dad's out there who are part of our lives....and those that are looking down from heaven as well.
I received an email from my dad today, it was a "pass this along" type of email but it immediately reminded me of my website and the fact that I'm not just about spreading the word on my business but as I mentioned also sharing the "Little Things" in life that make us all smile. Take a minute to read this, it will make you stop and think about things....
