I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: life sure does keep on changing! It keeps morphing into new scenarios and configurations endlessly. You can have things going for years and years and think “this is our thing!” And then, sure enough, life changes. Your baby starts walking. Your teenager heads off to college….
First of all, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LOVE yesterday with our big announcement. We are so excited. So much more on that coming up. But for now, I am thankful, on the eve of Thanksgiving, for traditions that bind us. The ones we grew up with in the Eyre family as well as the…
