About Me View My Posts

by Mary Kay Morgan, MS CPT
About Me View My Posts
Ahhh..... October. Cooler air, pumpkins, breast cancer awareness month and the official start of non-stop candy season. I find it interesting and ironic that we become more "aware" of breast cancer and then run out and buy bags and bags of Halloween candy. I was in Target the other day and I swear that end of the store was sagging under the weight! Unbelievable!! According to a site compiling data... 10/2/2015 9:00:00 PM
