If You’re Over 50…
If you’re over 50, you’ll think this is hilarious!!! When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning, Uphill…. Barefoot…. BOTH WAYS !!!!! Yadda, yadda, yadda And I remember promising […]

Much depends upon Michael’s workload commitments but I am […]
