If You Believe That Things Will Turn Out Well, They Usually Do!
My husband, Tony, and I always think on the positive side of things. When we are going to a Padres game, we always think that we will find a parking spot nearby and most of the time we find that spot! When we went to a celebration of 100 years of Naval Aviation...
