SUMMER 2015
May. We made the move to the Briargrove area about two years ago and enjoy seeing our close friends in the neighborhood throughout the year. We are looking forward to trips to Lake Travis, South Padre and Seaside, Florida, this summer. I enjoyed hearing from everyone and feel free to send me an email at danieljenkinsiv@gmail.com for next year’s update.
