This Old House, A Bottle, and a new Front Porch….

Words for my Daughter as she turns 16….

Today is a red-letter day in our family...my oldest daughter turns 16. And while that makes me feel old, after all, there were only 20 candles in the box and only FOUR left when I was done making her cake, I have thought long and hard about the words I want to put on paper [...]
