Well folks, the kids have officially started their Summer Vacation… Gasp! How quickly time flies!

It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to chat with you lovely folks and I do apologize for my absence. You see there have been some big changes happening at The HNC Villa and I’ve been very very busy trying to keep up (or catch my breath!) One of the big changes is…
