The log cabin styled apartment started with a very big move. Rick, Jenna and I drove to rural central Michigan (7 hours away) to pack up and move my dad from his house on 60 acres of hunting property to an apartment in Louisville. He was living alone (far away from family) and finally agreed …
Many people don’t know that when a business entity has funds that are undeliverable to the recipient those funds get turned over to the state as unclaimed property.

I’ve decided to forego the tradition this year. Why I’m not sending out Christmas cards you ask? Well, let me tell ya the …
