Letters from Santa
Dear Walk with a Doc Team, I’ve attended some of your events lately and had a jolly good time, so I’ve started doing a little more walking on my own lately. As you may know, it’s a busy time of year for me and I’ve found that a regular walking routine has been a great […]
2024 Snow Shoveling Guidelines
