Happy Halloween!! I don’t know about the rest of you, but I struggle to believe tomorrow is November 1st. Where did the year go? The holidays are rapidly approaching, my grocery store doesn’t have a single turkey…and I have a feeling I’m going to have to get very creative about gift buying! With that in mind, let’s just talk Duran history, it’s easier!! -R
