What is this season for?

Posted by: Tammy

Yep, it’s been a long time since I blogged. Last year my laptop went critical and went to the great recycling center in the sky. My desktop was also beginning to struggle, giving it’s all to the last click which literally was “transmit” on the Turbo Tax software to get our taxes sent to the […]
