The year end brings no greater pleasure then the opportunity to express to you season’s greetings and good wishes. May your holidays and new year be filled with joy Picture Quote #1

I will die here where I have walked. And I will walk here, though I am in my grave. I will walk here until the pride of this house is humbled Picture Quote #1
