The month of November has just flown by! We are now only a few days away from Thanksgiving!
 

As we hope all of you are off enjoying your turkey, dressing, and pumpkin pie, we will be doing the same, spending time with loved ones and reflecting on how blessed we really are. Personally, my grandmother’s homemade cranberry sauce is one of the things I look forward to most. Nothing beats it. We hope you use the holidays to spend time with loved ones, eat plenty, and take lots of naps!

We will be keeping lighter office hours; however, we will be monitoring the phones, so if you need something, please leave a message, and we will get back to you.
