It’s Been a Week
This has been another unusual week of staying home, sheltering in place, and stopping the spread of COVID-18. I pray you all have stayed healthy and have done what you can to keep the virus at bay. Together, we can make a difference. And eat some lasagna. It couldn’t hurt. Love you guys!
