Tax Day Tea Party
April 15th, 2009 
Cheryl Charles All I can say is “Wow” and “It’s about time!” Have you seen the news regarding the Tax Day Tea Parties organized by www.taxdayteaparties.com going on around the country today?

April 2nd, 2009 Cheryl Charles We are currently in the Overflow Parking area of Agave Gulch FamCamp at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, AZ. It’s quite a nice area, actually.
