We got married right out of high school and have been together ever since. Most things we have done together and we prefer it that way. We worked together at a private club and ran a very successful martial arts program for 15 years. Now we are trying our hand at writing books. Oh, did I mention the kids and grandkids? And there is a donkey, goat and cat too!

gas prices

Do you remember when the tanker truck when arrive with a load to replenish the tanks at the gas station and the guy would go out with a ladder and climb up to change the current price for gas?
