The most recent post on the Memories Tour was on Dec. 15th, about the hospital in Gassville, AR, if you missed it.  I said in that post I was going to be posting more regularly about the “tour,” and haven’t done one since.  That’s Christmas for you.  (That’s my story, and I”m stickin’ to it.)

Didn’t take him [...]

December 2nd, 2009 · 17 Comments · Families, Humor, Photos, Videos, Reflections, Tom & Me, Tom's Family
