It’s a little late into this new year to share with you our yearly Wish List which I originally shared with you last year, but I’ll go ahead anyway. I usually try to share it with you closer to January 1, but this year got off to a bit of a delayed start as The Driver’s mom passed away in the early days of January. We’re getting back on our feet and into a new “norm” now. I’ll write more about that later. Without further ado, here is our list from last year with our completed wishes.
