give the gift of memories with Hindsight is notably more clever than foresight, isn’t it? Along the path of a life well lived you’ve picked up little pearls of wisdom like, “we seldom know the value of a moment until it is just a memory”. We learn that money is better spent on experiences than it is collecting possessions. Now it’s time to pass this wisdom on to your children and grandkids and grab another chance to make cherished memories with your loved ones. – It’s time for Sprog & Sprocket!
