WHAT IF OUR NATIONAL BIRD WAS A TURKEY?

THIS TOO SHALL PASS

GIVING IN TO CLOSED CAPTIONING

WOULDN’T IT BE NICE?
Something happens to a person’s mind when they acquire a virus. I’m not talking about being hacked, although it seems I may have been. I am talking about the kind of virus that gets passed from person to person … Continue reading
MY FIRST VACATION WITH MY HUSBAND

ADAPTING TO OLD AGE
In today’s society 77 isn’t considered old, yet why do I feel like I’ve entered a new dimension – like the Twilight Zone? My hefty body has been supported by legs and feet which are beginning to falter under the … Continue reading
COUNTDOWN TO 77

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THIS?
