But, Is It? You’ve heard the expression, right? Someone suggests you just have to try such and such because “it’s to die for.” Personally, I don’t like the expression because at 72 years old I want things “to live for!” Can I get a witness! But, Today… I want to share something with you that… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Middle
Kate said middle. Not the first and not the last but “stuck” in the middle. Is the middle really being stuck though? I don’t think so. I am on the other side of middle age now – and looking back I loved the middle. If I could freeze time at a certain age I would… [Read More]
